There is curiosity regarding the severity of Turner’s injury and how long he might be sidelined from play.

How did Myles Turner get injured?

During the intense Pacers vs. Clippers game at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, on Thursday, February 6, I, Miles Turner, took an unexpected hit to the face from my teammate Bennedict Mathurin while going for a rebound near the Clippers’ basket. I stumbled and had to take a moment before getting back up. Even after rising, I found it tough to keep playing. The Pacers called a time-out, and during that break, I was evaluated for a possible concussion and didn’t return to the game. Despite being helped by team staff, I managed to leave the court under my own steam.

When will Myles Turner return to play for Indiana Pacers?
