Report: Pacers C Turner expected to miss time with ankle sprain
Published
Indiana Pacers centre Myles Turner is expected to miss at least one week after suffering an ankle sprain when he landed on a ball boy under the rim in pregame warmups Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The 26-year-old former 11th overall pick in 2015 from Benford, Tex., was forced to miss the Pacers' season opener shortly after he had returned from a stress fracture in his foot that sidelined him for the remainder of the 2021-22 season in mid-January.
In the 42 games Turner played last season, he averaged 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.1 blocks per game.
