Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Myles Turner had back spasms before the game. Carlisle said jokingly, “He’s not been traded, as I guess Twitter is saying. Believe me, I have no interest in trading Myles Turner.” 😂

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Myles Turner had a back spasm just before the game began, and that’s why he didn’t play. Carlisle says with a laugh that Turner “hasn’t been traded.” – 10:16 PM

Even with Tyrese Haliburton unavailable down the stretch and Myles Turner a late scratch, Indiana has dragged itself back into this game. A Buddy Hield 4-point play has made this a one-possession game with 1:15 to go. Some really careless Knicks turnovers in the fourth. – 9:52 PM

After Myles Turner was ruled out with back spasms shortly before tip, the Knicks have done whatever they’ve wanted in this game. They lead 62-41 at the halftime break behind 19 from Jalen Brunson and 16 from RJ Barrett. Tyrese Haliburton has 9 pts, 3 rebs & 4 assists for Indiana. – 8:32 PM

Another late update: Myles Turner won’t play vs Knicks due to back spasms.
James Johnson making his first start as a Pacer.
To recap, they’re without three rotation players: No Turner, Nesmith, Brissett. – 7:41 PM

Okay, diving deep on some potential trade candidates now, from Myles Turner, Nikola Vucevic, Kyle Kuzma, Bojan Bogdanovic, John Collins, and others.

Yet again, #Pacers Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner were nominees for the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award, which was won by Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell. – 3:33 PM

Rick Fox: With @KingJames playing at his usual GOAT level even at 38 imagine if Myles Turner and @buddyhield were @Lakers we appreciate you Thomas Bryant. Lets Get @AntDavis23 backs and get this 2023 -via Twitter @RickFox / January 10, 2023
Myles Turner, to this point, has rebuffed Indiana’s contract extension offers, league sources say. Ditto for Jordan Clarkson in Utah. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 7, 2023
Indiana could still look to make a trade, but the Pacers are focused on making the playoffs. “They could still trade Buddy [Hield]; he’s been available since they got him,” a different Eastern Conference executive said, “But they’re not looking to tank, and I hear they’re trying to extend Myles.” -via Bleacher Report / January 7, 2023
