Myles Turner stepped on someone’s foot pregame to sprain his ankle, Rick Carlisle says. It’s not considered serious. – 9:51 PM

Carlisle went 10 deep in the first quarter — and that doesn’t include Myles Turner.
I’m surprised Aaron Nesmith is out there considering he hasn’t been full-go in almost two weeks. And plantar fascia injuries typically linger. – 7:44 PM

Myles Turner with a 5pm ankle injury? Hmmmm. – 7:15 PM
