Myles Turner (ankle) ruled out, Al Jefferson to start Saturday for Pacers
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner will not play Saturday, reports NBC Sports' Chris Miller.
With Turner out, the Pacers will be without two of their primary big men in him and Domantas Sabonis (ankle). Al Jefferson will start in his place and likely play extended minutes beside Thaddeus Young (illness) -- that's if he's able to give it a go.
Turner was projected for 28.8 minutes and 30.8 FanDuel points in Saturday's game. His next opportunity to play comes Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
