Rick Carlisle Issues Concerning Myles Turner Health Update After Pacers Game 3 Win

“Being back, it’s good energy. Being back in front of your home fans is big…. I think it’s going to be important for us to protect our homecourt,” said Myles Turner, going into Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The 29-year-old Center was, without a doubt, a major factor in the Pacers’ win in Game 1. While he slightly improved upon that performance in Game 2, the Pacers still lost. Therefore, to give the Pacers a push, the player looked to make the best use of the home-court advantage. Unfortunately, while he played a part in that effort in Game 3, unexpected complications might prevent him from doing so for Game 4.

In the aftermath of the Indiana Pacers’ 116-107 win, Rick Carlisle participated in a presser. At the same time, a reporter highlighted that Myles Turner seemed to be struggling throughout the game. He questioned how the players can be kept mentally ready to deal with tough situations. This led the head coach to say, “Well, Myles is under the weather, and, um, he may not even be with us tomorrow. Um, he’s just…. hasn’t been feeling well the last couple of days. It was affecting his wind. Um, he won’t bring it up, but, you know, I think it’s just appropriate to mention that, that he is working through something. Um, some kind of a cold, or whatever, but he’s just not feeling himself.” Yikes!
