Questionable Monday Turner (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Mavericks.
Impact Turner sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Saturday due to the back issue, but it appears his back is still giving him some issues and could hold him out for a second straight game. If that's the case, Isaiah Jackson would have the opportunity for another start and there would be more minutes available for Jalen Smith. Stay tuned.

Starts strong in loss Turner notched 20 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes during Monday's 115-109 loss to Charlotte.
Impact Turner had a big first quarter with 15 points fueled by nine trips to the free-throw line, but he tailed off in the final three quarters. The Pacers center tied a season high with 11 free-throw attempts and has topped 20 points in consecutive games with the Pacers' leading scorer, Tyrese Haliburton (knee), out. Turner submitted an all-around game with solid rebounding and assist numbers, but surprisingly, he didn't contribute in two of his usual categories, three-pointers and blocks.

Returns to form in loss Turner finished Saturday's 141-121 loss to the 76ers with 20 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes.
Impact After missing two games due to back soreness, Turner managed to suit up for both legs of the Pacers' back-to-back and played better Saturday than he did Friday. Currently sitting three and a half games back from a playoff birth and missing leading scorer Tyrese Haliburton (ankle), Turner will have to continue to step up as a top-scoring option for the Pacers. He will face New Orleans on Monday in Indiana's first of four contests this week.

Modest production in return Turner (back) totaled 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Thursday's 139-123 win over Milwaukee.
Impact Turner was limited to just 25 minutes during his return from a two-game absence due to a back issue. He got into a little bit of foul trouble while battling Milwaukee's stout frontcourt, but he still submitted a decent stat line and should continue to see his usage grow as he works his way back to 100 percent. In eight games before his absence, Turner averaged 20.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 29.5 minutes with 59/37/79 shooting splits.

Questionable at Milwaukee Turner (back) is questionable for Thursday's action at Milwaukee.
Impact After two consecutive absences due to back soreness, Turner may return Thursday.

Not playing Monday Turner (back) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Pistons, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Turner missed Saturday's game against Detroit, and head coach Rick Carlisle doesn't want to risk further injury, so he'll give him the day off Monday as well. This is the same approach he used with Tyrese Haliburton (knee) and T.J. McConnell (back). Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson should benefit from Turner's absence, and his next chance to feature will come Thursday at Milwaukee.

Won't suit up Saturday Turner (back) won't play Saturday versus the Pistons, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Turner will miss just his second game since Jan. 14 on Saturday, joining Tyrese Haliburton (knee) and T.J. McConnell (back) on the sidelines. With Turner out of commission, either Jalen Smith or Isaiah Jackson will likely get the starting nod in the first of two meetings that lie ahead versus the Pistons in Detroit.

Impact Turner fouled out in Thursday's victory but not before making his presence felt on both ends of the floor. Not only did he score at least 20 points for the first time in the past four games, but he also dominated the defensive end, swatting a season-high seven shots. He has been a second-round player thus far this season, providing managers with an incredible ROI based on where he was being drafted. As long as he remains healthy, he should be able to close out the season in much the same fashion.

Limited by foul trouble Turner contributed 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and one block over 17 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 147-143 loss to the 76ers.

Turner scored 10 points on nine shots and failed to collect a rebound for the first time this season. He did manage to block a James Harden layup, giving him a rejection in 29 of his last 30 games.
