Calling, Fort Wayne? Without Myles Turner for the next month, the Pacers may have to play more small-ball.
The Blue & Gold's thin frontcourt is about to get even thinner, as the Indiana Pacers announced Thursday that rookie backup center Myles Turner will be sidelined for "at least four weeks" with a chip fracture in his left thumb.
Indiana's first round draft pick is averaging 6.1 points and 2.9 rebounds on 55.3% shooting in a little over 15 minutes per contest.
With the team's starting center averaging 5.3 fouls per 36 minutes, Turner serves as a much-needed stop gap when Ian Mahinmi is in foul trouble.
