Pacers' Myles Turner: Strong two-way play Wednesday
Rotowire
Turner notched 18 points (6-8 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 win over the Raptors.
Turner recorded at least two tallies in four of the five major categories, but aside from posting a double-double and leaving his mark defensively, the most surprising stat was the fact that he went 5-for-5 from beyond the arc. Turner's ability to stretch the floor opens up the game for the Pacers on offense, but he's getting the job done on both ends of the court of late. In four games since the All-Star break, Turner has notched two double-doubles while averaging 18.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per contest.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Sidelined through All-Star break
Rotowire
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that Turner (neck) will be held out through the All-Star break, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
Turner is working through a cervical strain in his neck that forced him to miss Saturday's loss against the Lakers. The injury is severe enough that Turner will be sidelined for the Pacers' next two games in the hope that he'll be able to progress enough in his recovery to return for Indiana's first game after the All-Star break against Memphis on Thursday, Feb. 20. Thomas Bryant is expected to start at center for Indiana's next two games while the recently signed Jahlil Okafor serves in a backup role due to Turner's absence.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Exits early with possible concussion
Rotowire
Turner will be evaluated for a concussion and won't return to Thursday's game against the Clippers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Turner produced zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one steal over six minutes before exiting with 6:13 left in the opening quarter after he was inadvertently struck in the face by teammate Bennedict Mathurin. Though the Pacers haven't confirmed that Turner was diagnosed with a concussion, the team's decision to rule him out likely suggests that he was experiencing related symptoms. His availability for the Pacers' next game Saturday versus the Lakers would seem to be in peril.
