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 teams faced off on Jan. 16, with Indiana coming out on top 111-100 on the road. As the Pistons dribbled the clock out, Pacers forward Pascal Siakam began talking to the Pistons' Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren. It carried over once the game finished, and Stewart walked over to join in, allegedly telling Turner, "You play with Legos."

Turner (neck) finished Thursday's 127-113 win over the Grizzlies with 17 points (6-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven blocks, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes. Turner was cleared to return for the Pacers' first game coming out of the All-Star break after he had been sidelined for the previous three contests due to a cervical strain.

Myles Turner posted a double-double, Tyrese Haliburton just missed one and the Pacers scored a season-high 50 points in the second quarter to shake off a slow start and handle the Grizzlies — the second best team in the West — 127-113 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday night in their first game after the All-Star break.
