The 11th overall pick in 2015, the 23-year-old is in his fifth season in the NBA, all with Indiana. After playing 81 games during a breakout 2016-17 season, he was limited to 65 games in 2017-18, missing a nine-game stretch due to a right elbow injury.
A broken nose couldn't force him out of action earlier last season, though he was later sidelined for a four-game stretch as the result of a sore right shoulder.
Turner is averaging 17.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks through the first three games this season.
When the 6'11", 250-pound center is on the court, the Pacers have a big man who can be a presence in the paint on offense and defense. Turner has proved he can clean up the boards, swat shots and score in double-digits as well.
