Throughout the first half of the regular season, the Indiana Pacers have been without a few of their biggest contributors on several occasions. This remained true as Myles Turner missed four of the six games played so far in January due to injury.
On December 31st, against the Atlanta Hawks, Turner suffered a broken nose. It was expected that Turner would miss time due to the injury requiring surgery. However, the center would miss no games and return on January 4th in a win against the Chicago Bulls.
Unfortunately, Turner’s luck would run out once again as he would aggravate a right shoulder injury during this return to the floor against the Bulls.
