Los Angeles – Pacers Center Myles Turner was hit in the face of the first quarter of Thursday’s match against Clippers at the Intuit Dome and had to leave the game. He is evaluated for a concussion and does not return to the game according to Pacers Public Relations staff.

Turner spent several seconds laying down on the floor as play continued after a put-back lineup of Clippers Center Ivica Zubac and the resulting change of possession. Turner jogged eventually down the floor, but then wobbly out of it. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle called Timeout to get Turner out of the floor and he stumbles on his way from the floor and had to stabilize using Clippers -Guard Norman Powell.
