Sat May 24 | 00:00 | Myles Turner Struggles on the Glass Once Again |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner scored 16 points in Friday's playoff victory over New York. The 2015 No. 11 overall pick shined in the previous series versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, he hasn't been nearly as potent against the Knicks, averaging 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 25.0% shooting from downtown, all down from the Conference semifinals. With Mitchell Robinson in the mix and dominating the glass, head coach Rick Carlisle may need more size underneath the rim in Game 3, meaning Turner might sit more on Sunday. |

Wed May 7 | 08:49 | Myles Turner Big At Both Ends In Game 2 |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner played a pivotal role in Tuesday's 120-119 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, posting 23 points on 8-for-17 shooting and blocking five shots. Additionally, he recorded eight rebounds with one steal and one block, finishing 2-for-5 with his shots from the three-point line. This was Turner's third outing in four games with 20-plus points. He is in a great position to enjoy further offensive success against the Cavaliers, as they lost Evan Mobley (ankle) for Tuesday's Game 2. It was a difficult matchup on paper for Turner, but he has been strong in the series so far, averaging 18.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks. |

Sun May 4 | 21:16 | Myles Turner Has A Productive Showing In Game 1 |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner finished with a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double in Sunday's win over the Cavaliers. He added three steals and two blocks. Turner had a nice showing for DFS participants in Game 1, which also could be said for Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, and Pascal Siakam. With that in mind, the 29-year-old wasn't as productive versus the Cavs during the regular season, at least on the glass, amassing 5.8 boards in four meetings. Still, Turner should get all the work he can handle in Game 2 on Tuesday, leaving little room for involvement from Thomas Bryant, who had two points, two rebounds, and one block in six minutes. |

Fri Apr 11 | 18:20 | Myles Turner Ruled Out On Friday |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (knee) won't play on Friday against the Magic. The Pacers are going to the playoffs. As a result, Tyrese Haliburton (back), Pascal Siakam (elbow), Aaron Nesmith (rest), and Andrew Nembhard (thumb) also won't suit up. But as far the middle is concerned, Thomas Bryant, averaging 12.6 points and 8.0 rebounds in seven starts this season, will likely get all the minutes he can handle on Friday night. |

Wed Apr 2 | 09:18 | Myles Turner May Miss Another Game Wednesday |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. The 29-year-old big man was a late scratch for Monday's action against the Sacramento Kings due to an illness and has not yet fully recovered. Thomas Bryant moved into the starting five on Monday but had a fairly quiet evening with seven points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes. Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker provided frontcourt backup off the bench, making many fantasy managers happy by combining for 34 points. If Turner remains out on Wednesday, it will once again take a collective effort to make up for his absence. |

Mon Mar 31 | 17:54 | Myles Turner Sidelined On Monday |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner(illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Going into Monday's contest, he had only sat out once in the last 20 games. However, Turner was added late to the Pacers' injury report due to an illness that will keep him out of the lineup. With the big man out of action this evening, the team's frontcourt will likely rely on Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin to soak up some minutes. |

Tue Mar 18 | 21:13 | Myles Turner Off The Injury Report For Wednesday |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hip) is off the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Mavericks. He missed Monday's overtime win over the Timberwolves because of a hip contusion. As a result, Thomas Bryant took over in the middle, finishing with 10 points, seven rebounds, two blocks, and one steal. But with Turner back on the floor, Bryant won't be relevant for fantasy managers. On the other hand, Turner could be in line for an uptick in scoring tries, considering Tyrese Haliburton (back) and Pascal Siakam (personal) may not suit up. In addition, the Mavs are still without Anthony Davis (adductor), Dereck Lively II (ankle), and Daniel Gafford (knee). Kai Jones (quadriceps) is questionable, meaning Dallas may remain undersized underneath the basket. |

Mon Mar 17 | 19:07 | Myles Turner Misses Monday's Matchup |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hip) will not be available for Monday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He will exit the lineup due to a hip contusion. Turner's absence will likely give a starter's role to Thomas Bryant, who has previously averaged 14.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in the first unit this season. The frontcourt is also without Pascal Siakam (personal) for Monday's game, which means Obi Toppin and Tony Bradley could also get plenty of minutes on the floor. |

Sun Mar 16 | 19:48 | Myles Turner Questionable Against Minnesota |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hip) is questionable for Monday's encounter with the Timberwolves. Turner was on the floor for both halves of Indiana's back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, combining for 32 points and 11 rebounds. Unfortunately, he landed on the injury report because of a bruised hip, meaning he may miss his first game in over a month. If Turner can't get on the floor, Thomas Bryant, averaging 14.2 points and 8.4 boards in five starts this season, should see streaming attention from fantasy managers. Bryant would also draw value interest from DFS participants, considering Pascal Siakam (personal) won't play, and Tyrese Martin (back) is questionable. |

Wed Feb 19 | 08:04 | Myles Turner On Track To Return Thursday |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) is expected to rejoin the action on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ahead of the All-Star break, Turner suffered a cervical strain and missed three games. On Tuesday, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters that Turner should be good to go for Thursday's game. His return will bump Thomas Bryant back to the bench. Bryant posted 13.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 27.5 minutes during his run as a starter. In a bench role, he is a non-factor in fantasy basketball. |

Tue Feb 11 | 18:26 | Myles Turner Sidelined Through The All-Star Break |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) has been ruled out through the All-Star break. He will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the New York Knicks and will remain sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards. Thomas Bryant is expected to continue as the starting center while Turner is on the mend, with Jahlil Okafor serving as his backup. The former top-3 pick has just signed a 10-day contract with the Pacers. |

Tue Feb 11 | 08:58 | Myles Turner In Danger Of Missing A Second Consecutive Game |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) carries a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's action against the New York Knicks. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters that Turner practiced in "some capacity" on Monday. However, he may be forced to skip a second straight game due to a cervical strain. With Turner sidelined, Thomas Bryant logged his third start of the season in Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has averaged 14.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals as a starter in 2024-25. |

Sat Feb 8 | 14:19 | Myles Turner Out Against The Lakers |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) is out on Saturday against the Lakers. The 28-year-old has averaged 15.1 points, 6.6 boards, and 1.8 blocks this season, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. But he's only missed four games leading up to the meeting with the Lakers, so that's been a plus for fantasy managers. Until Turner is back on the floor, whenever that may be, Thomas Bryant, averaging 15.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in two starts this season, will presumably continue to fill the hole at the five. Obi Toppin, amassing 10 points, six boards, and one steal in Thursday's win over the Clippers, should also remain in line for more playing time. |

Fri Feb 7 | 21:02 | Myles Turner Ruled Out For Saturday |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Turner only played five minutes on Thursday before exiting the game due to a possible concussion. The Pacers are calling his absence a neck strain, so Turner appears to have avoided going into concussion protocol. The absence of Turner does leave the Pacers shorthanded for Saturday's game. The expectation is that Obi Toppin and Thomas Bryant will be asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. Both players appear to be viable streaming options with Turner sidelined. Bryant posted a double-double on Thursday, so fantasy managers might want to play the hot hand. |

Mon Feb 3 | 20:07 | Myles Turner Sits Out Monday's Game |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) will not play on Monday against the Utah Jazz. Indiana begins a back-to-back on Monday night, and Turner has been ruled out with a right peroneal strain after the team gave him a questionable tag on the injury report earlier in the day. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle considers Turner day-to-day. Thomas Bryant is likely to make his second start as a Pacer. His debut in the role could not have gone much better, as the 27-year-old notched 22 points, eight rebounds, and a pair of steals in a 129-113 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Jan. 8. Obi Toppin's workload might also increase with Turner's absence. |

According to Alex Golden of the Setting the Pace podcast, Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner(illness) has been upgraded to available to play against the Golden State Warriors. Turner was listed on the injury report earlier in the day due to dealing with an illness. The 28-year-old will go up against a banged-up Golden State Warriors team who will be down Draymond Green(back), Jonathan Kuminga(ankle), and maybe Trayce Jackson-Davis(eye - questionable). |

If he's able to give it a go, he'll go up against a banged-up Golden State Warriors team who will be down Draymond Green (back), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle), and maybe Trayce Jackson-Davis (eye - questionable). On the other hand, Thomas Bryant would probably stay in the starting five if Turner doesn't suit up. Bryant posted 22 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and two steals in their last game against the Bulls. |

Thu Dec 26 2024 | 18:05 | Myles Turner Available Against Thunder |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (oblique) will be active against Oklahoma City on Thursday. The team listed him as questionable on the initial injury report, but Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle has confirmed that Turner will play. The 28-year-old is coming off a nice 23-point, 10-rebound double-double against the Warriors. Only two teams allow more rebounds to opposing centers than OKC, so Turner should be able to flirt with another double-double on Thursday night. He's also currently on a four-game run with multiple blocks. |

Wed Dec 25 2024 | 17:09 | Myles Turner Questionable For Thursday's Game |
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (oblique) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Oklahoma City. An oblique strain might end a run of 12 consecutive appearances for Turner. Newly acquired Thomas Bryant looks set for a starting role if Turner can't play on Thursday. Bryant has always done well as a starter, averaging 12.4 points and 7.4 rebounds in the role for his career. However, this is a difficult matchup for Indiana's centers, as Oklahoma City allows the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing fives. |

Turner has been battling a calf issue, but appears to be feeling good enough to play on Monday. He did sit out last Monday, but has played in three straight games since then. Fantasy managers who have Turner rostered can get him back in their lineups on Monday. He has been in a bit of a slump lately but still needs to be started in all fantasy formats. |
