Impact Turner led all Indiana players in scoring and shots made from deep while ending one rebound shy of a double-double to boost the Pacers to a thrilling overtime victory to take a series lead against the Bucks. Turner has posted at least 15 points and seven rebounds in all three quarterfinals games, connecting on three or more threes in every outing so far in the series. Expect Turner to put up similar numbers the rest of the series, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) continues to miss time for Milwaukee.

Impact Turner's value for the Pacers can't be understated, as the veteran consistently provides solid interior support. Interestingly, his exposure in fantasy contests is very low, making him one of the most underrated centers in the playoff bracket. Although players like Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson challenged him for playing time in the regular season, the 28-year-old Texas product was successful in keeping them at bay.

Efficient night in return Friday Turner racked up 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Friday's 126-112 win over the Thunder.
Impact Turner returned to the Pacers' lineup Friday after missing Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right finger sprain. He played just 16 minutes Friday, but he should see more action over the last four games of the regular season with the Pacers battling to avoid placement in the NBA Play-In Tournament. Since the All-Star break, Turner is averaging 15.9 points on 50.2 percent shooting (including 39.6 percent from three), 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.1 blocks over 25.9 minutes per game.

Gets green light Turner (finger) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Turner has officially received the green light to suit up and return following a one-game absence due to a right finger sprain. In March (19 games), the talented big man averaged 16.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.2 assists in 26.9 minutes per game.

Expected to play Friday Coach Rick Carlisle said Turner, who's officially listed as questionable due to a finger injury, is expected to play Friday against the Thunder, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Impact Turner missed Wednesday's loss in Brooklyn due to the right finger sprain he suffered in the game prior, but he's on track to return Friday. In March (19 games), Turner averaged 16.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.2 assists in 26.9 minutes per game.

Iffy against Thunder Turner (finger) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus Oklahoma City.
Impact Turner is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to a sprained finger. If Turner is ruled out against the Thunder, Jalen Smith will likely draw another start.

Won't play Wednesday Turner (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Impact Turner will miss Wednesday's game with the finger injury he picked up Monday, which should open up some additional minutes for Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson. Smith started the second half of Monday's game after Turner went down, so he could find himself in a starting role Wednesday night. Turner's next chance to play will come Friday against the Thunder.

Questionable for Wednesday Turner (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Impact Turner suffered a finger injury during Monday's win over the Nets, and despite X-rays coming back negative, the big man went to see a hand specialist Tuesday. It appears that meeting went okay, as Turner has a chance to suit up Wednesday, but if the Pacers' starting center has to miss time, Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson would be the primary beneficiaries.

Visiting hand specialist Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Turner (finger) is scheduled to visit a hand specialist Tuesday before his status for Wednesday's game in Brooklyn is determined, Andy Sweeney...
Impact Though X-rays on the finger Turner injured in Monday's 133-111 win over the Nets returned negative and he's been diagnosed with a sprain, Carlisle noted Tuesday that the center's ability to play moving forward will depend on "pain tolerance." Given that the injury is to Turner's shooting hand, he may be more likely than not to miss some time, though the Pacers will wait for feedback from the hand specialist before determining his next steps. If Turner is sidelined for Wednesday's contest or additional games to follow, Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson would likely cover most of the minutes at center, with rookie Jarace Walker potentially factoring into the frontcourt mix as well.

Won't return Monday Turner won't return to Monday's game against the Nets due to a sprained right finger.
Impact Turner exited the game briefly in the first half and eventually returned to action, but he won't be back for the second half of Monday's contest. The loss of Turner could be massive for the Pacers, as they don't have a lot of frontcourt depth to begin with, and they don't have a player who can provide the same skill set as Turner, either. The big man ends Monday's game with nine points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five blocks and a steal across 14 minutes. He should be considered questionable to face the Nets on Wednesday.
