Indian Pacers centre Myles Turner is week-to-week with a sprained ankle, the team announced on Thursday.

In addition to Turner’s diagnosis, point guard Edmond Sumner has a non-displaced fracture in his right hand but will not require surgery.

Turner suffered his ankle injury setting a screen at the top of the key during the first quarter against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. The 23-year-old remained down for several minutes before being helped off the court.

The 11th-overall pick in 2015 is averaging 14.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game this season.

Sumner, 23, is chipping in seven points and two assists per game for the Pacers.
