Turner missed Indiana's previous three contests due to a cervical strain in his neck but is expected to return to action Thursday after recovering over the All-Star break. If Turner is officially deemed available, he should reclaim his starting spot from Thomas Bryant.

The Los Angeles Lakers are on the hunt for a big man but it could come at a major cost. According to The Athletic's Mark Gilbert, Myles Turner has emerged as a serious trade candidate for the Lakers if they are willing to offer Austin Reaves in return.

After missing the past three games before the All-Star break with a cervical strain, the Pacers expect Myles Turner to be ready to play Thursday.
