The right elbow strain that Myles Turner sustained while completing a first-quarter dunk against the Milwaukee Bucks will keep him out for at least the next two games, the Pacers announced today.
Indiana is 4-4 in games when Domantas Sabonis has started in place of Turner, including a sizable victory over Friday’s opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
However, for the 21-year-old shot-blocker with the feathery soft mid-range jump shot, the setback is the latest in what has been an unfortunate series of bumps which have contributed to his somewhat fitful year-over-year growth amid his third season.
