Pacers set to be without Myles Turner for a while

The Indiana Pacers declared that Myles Turner would be sidelined for the short term as he goes through treatment for a stress fracture in his left foot. Following fourteen days, Turner will then, at that point, be re-evaluated by the Pacers clinical staff. This course of events could mean that Turner will not be accessible to return before the exchange cutoff time on Feb. 10.

Pacers contemplate a massive roster overhaul and Turner is on the wrong side of the list. The seven-year veteran is under the agreement through the 2022-23 season, so if they traded him now the more they can get in return from him. This season, Turner is averaging 12.9 points and 7.1 rebounds, and Indiana is 7.5 games behind the Celtics for the last playoff spot. It seems like this season Pacers would not repeat qualifying for the playoff play-in tournament like the past season.
