Pacers rule out Myles Turner (back) for Sunday
The Indiana Pacers have ruled out Myles Turner (back) for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Turner was a late addition to the Pacers' injury back due to a back spasm issue, and will now be kept on the sidelines for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies. Obi Toppin and Jalen Smith (back) could each see significant increases to their minutes with Turner sidelined, though Smith is still questionable for this afternoon's game as well.
Smith has a $5,000 salary on FanDuel and would be projected for 19.9 fantasy points if he can play through his back injury. Toppin is currently projected for 18 fantasy points and has a $5,100 salary on FanDuel, but his projections could spike if Smith joins Turner on the sidelines.
