Blazers' Evan Turner suffers a fractured hand on Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner fractured his right hand during Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks and will not return.
What It Means:
He broke his third metacarpal in his right hand, an injury that usually takes 4-6 weeks to recover from. While Turner is on the sidelines, Maurice Harkless should get some extra run and Allen Crabbe becomes a candidate to see more minutes. Both are solid pickups in season-long fantasy leagues.
After signing a four-year $70 million contract, Turner is averaging just 9.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists across 26.2 minutes per game. He owns a .466 effective field goal percentage and his nERD of -3.7 ranks 442nd.
