Indiana Pacers: Myles Turner’s role and his importance

At the beginning of the season, Myles Turner and the Indiana Pacers didn’t start the season as expected.

The Pacers started the season on a three-game losing streak. That first portion of the season was riddled by injuries that impacted the team’s chemistry.

While playing more than 50% of their games without Victor Oladipo so far this season, the Pacers have had to rely on Domantas Sabonis, Malcolm Brogdon, T.J. Warren, and Turner.

Indiana was 30-17 before Oladipo returned to the court. That shows the Pacers are deep and can contend with the NBA’s best without their best player.
