Myles Turner was cleared on the Friday, Oct. 16 injury report, removing the Day-To-Day tag he had carried since Wednesday. He is available for Milwaukee's game at the Pacers that night.
What happened
Myles Turner was cleared on the Friday, Oct. 16 injury report at 7:15 p.m. ET, lifting the Day-To-Day designation he had carried since Wednesday, Oct. 14, when he was first listed with a rest issue. No further detail was given for either the Wednesday listing or Friday's clearance, and the report carried no additional comment. The move leaves Turner with no injury designation heading into Milwaukee's game at Indiana.
What it means for the Bucks
Turner is set for Milwaukee's game at the Pacers on Friday at 7:00 p.m. ET. Last season he averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.9 minutes across 71 games. With him out, the center and forward minutes had gone to Kevin Porter Jr. (33.2 minutes, 17.4 points), Ryan Rollins (32.1 minutes, 17.3 points), AJ Green (29.1 minutes, 10.4 points) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (28.9 minutes, 27.6 points), with Ousmane Dieng, Kyle Kuzma, Cormac Ryan and Bobby Portis Jr. also seeing extra time. The Bucks have not played a regular-season game yet this season, so there is no record to compare with or without him.
What to watch
The next injury report will confirm whether Turner's clearance holds through tip-off against the Pacers. No return timeline applies since he is no longer listed with an injury. Milwaukee also lists AJ Green, Gary Trent Jr. and Kevin Porter Jr. as Day-To-Day with rest issues, and Nate Ament as Day-To-Day with a left ankle issue, so the next report is worth checking for the full lineup.
Is Myles Turner playing at Pacers?
Yes. He was cleared on the Friday, Oct. 16 injury report, removing the Day-To-Day tag, and is available for Milwaukee's game at Indiana that night.
When will Myles Turner be back?
He is already back. The Day-To-Day designation he carried since Wednesday, Oct. 14 was lifted Friday, and no return date applies since he is not currently listed with an injury.
