Myles Turner Questionable for Pacers’ Game with Thunder on December 26th Due to Oblique Injury
Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers is dealing with an oblique injury. His status is questionable for the upcoming game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on December 26th. This is a new development, as Turner has no previous injury notes this season.
What It Means
If Myles Turner cannot play, it will impact the Pacers’ lineup significantly. He averages 15.3 points per game and contributes with strong shooting percentages, including a field goal percentage of 48.9% and a three-point percentage of 40.8%. Turner’s presence in games often ranks him in the top five at his position for points and fantasy points.
Without Turner, Thomas Bryant may see more playing time as he ranks second in the center depth chart. However, Bryant’s average of 4.1 points per game over just 11 minutes might not fill Turner’s void effectively. The team will need to adjust their strategy to compensate for Turner’s potential absence.
