Absent at the last minute once morest the Wizards, Myles Turner was actually injured during… the warm-up. Spoiler, the story is WTF and the kingpin is definitely out of luck.
While we have not seen him pacing an NBA floor and sticking pancakes at all costs since January 14, 2021, Myles Turner was to make his comeback last night for the reception of the Wizards in Indiana. Unfortunately, nothing went as planned and Pacers fans will still be waiting to see the Haliburton-Turner pair bring misery to a team. However, the one who lives with rumors of departure since fire control was warming up before the start of the meeting. And the problem obviously comes from there. As he started the machine, Myles Turner was injured… by falling on the foot of a ball boyaccording to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. When it doesn’t want it, it doesn’t want it and the curse continues for the interior of the Pacers, which is a candidate for the most unlucky injury of the day.

Without him, the Pacers held up well thanks to an in-form Tyrese Haliburton (26 pawns), but they ended up giving up 107-114 once morest the Sorcerers of the capital. For the moment, the Pacers have not communicated on a possible unavailability of Myles Turner, Rick Carlisle having nevertheless explained following the match that it was not a big injury. It might just be a simple ankle scare and the pivot might be able to lace up the sneakers for the next one. World of Tanks game once morest Spurs. Either way, Indiana’s board shouldn’t take much of a risk with the health of its protege. Myles Turner comes off an injury-blighted season where he played just 42 gamesenough to produce nice stats with 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks on average. “You cannot trade an injured player”, everyone knew that on 2K and a Myles Turner at the dispensary wouldn’t do the Pacers’ business… much less those of his multiple suitors. Although beware, one of them who is none other than the Lakers will not move his pawns for a good month. Until then, little Myles should be frolicking in the fields once more.
Bad luck continues to strike Myles Turner with this new injury which occurred during the warm-up. The Pacers have not announced any unavailability and the guy might start his eighth season fairly quickly in Indiana, it remains to be seen whether he will end the year there.
