Pacers' Myles Turner still 'not quite 100 percent'
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner says he's still not back to 100 percent after missing extended time with a concussion.
Given how much time Turner missed and the league's concussion protocol hurdles, it's likely that he's referring to his conditioning and usual playing style rather than cobwebs stemming from his head injury. Coach Nate McMillan has experimented with lineups, which has allowed Domantas Sabonis to eat into Turner's minutes. That's led to Turner playing just 27.2 minutes per game, but it's possible that it's only a matter of time before Turner's conditioning level leads to him averaging 30 or more minutes a night.
Since returning to the floor, Turner has averaged 13.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. He's projected to play 34.2 minutes and account for 39.9 FanDuel points at his $8,000 price tag on tonight's slate.
