**Pacers’ Turner Under the Weather, Status for Game 4 Uncertain; Walker Still Out**

**Indianapolis, IN -** The Indiana Pacers are hoping center Myles Turner will be ready to go for Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Turner missed Thursday’s media availability due to an illness that Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said affected his performance in Wednesday’s Game 3 victory.

While Turner is not currently listed on the injury report, Carlisle acknowledged the illness impacted Turner’s wind and contributed to his less-than-stellar offensive output in Game 3 (9 points on 3-of-11 shooting, 2 rebounds, but 5 blocks).

“He was there for our film session,” Carlisle said on Thursday. “He’s going home. Hopefully he’ll feel better tomorrow. We’ll see.”

Turner has been a vital part of the Pacers’ playoff run, averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game while leading all players with 44 total blocks.

In other injury news, rookie forward Jarace Walker remains out for his fourth consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. Walker sustained the injury during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks, a game where he left the arena on crutches. While Carlisle hasn’t ruled Walker out for the series entirely, his return does not appear imminent. The Pacers will need to continue to rely on other players to fill Walker’s role as they look to take a commanding lead in the Finals.
