In the middle of one of Myles Turner’s best games this season — and during the best stretch of his career — only one thing could stop the Indiana Pacers center: A broken nose.
The Pacers still got the win but with Turner stringing together a stretch where he isn’t far off a double-double (14.5 points/8.9 rebounds average over the last 21 games) and has provided justification his contract extension, the timing felt particularly unfortunate.
Turner only needed a 10-minute procedure to repair the damage, but as expected, he will play in a mask while his nose mend.
