Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner injury statuses vs. Jazz
The Pacers had Haliburton (left thigh contusion) and Turner (sore lower back) initially listed as questionable for Monday's showdown, per a tweet from Tony East. The good news is that Haliburton was upgraded to available an hour and a half prior to tipoff. Turner, however, was ruled out.
Haliburton, 22, is in his third year in the NBA and second as a member of the Pacers. He's emerged as a bona fide star in year three, as he's averaging 19.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 10.1 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.4 blocks across 46 appearances this season (all starts).
Meanwhile, Turner, 26, is in his eighth year in the big leagues and has spent all of them with the Pacers. He's putting up per-game splits of 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals, and 2.3 blocks thus far in 2022-23.
The Pacers will likely have their hands full against the Jazz on Monday. After all, the Pacers own just a 2-8 record over their last ten games and are currently riding a four-game losing streak. But with regard to the question, Are Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner playing vs. the Jazz, the answer is a “yes” for Haliburton, but it's a “no” for Turner.
