Pacers C Turner injured during Monday's 116-108 victory over Hawks

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner suffered a broken nose during Monday's 116-108 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Turner will be re-evaluated Tuesday. There was no immediate word regarding whether he will miss some time. "The hope is that he doesn't have a concussion," Indiana coach Nate McMillan said in his postgame press conference. "He can play with a broken nose -- just put a mask on.

But if there's a concussion there, then that's something a little different." Turner was injured when he took a hit to the face from Atlanta's John Collins while contesting a shot. He exited with 4:44 remaining in the third quarter and didn't return. Turner scored 20 points in 23 minutes before leaving. He was 7 of 9 from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range, and collected eight rebounds, four assists and four blocked shots. He was in good spirits after the contest.

"It's just a little sore right now," Turner said in a postgame interview. "I'm going to get it checked out even more tomorrow, but I'm not overly concerned about it. "I know I'm going to have a wear a mask." Shooting guard Victor Oladipo said wearing a mask shouldn't be an issue. "Don't worry, I've worn a mask before," Oladipo said in a postgame television interview. "I'll give him some pointers. The mask has secret powers, so he'll be all right."
