Bucks' Myles Turner: Iffy to play Sunday
Rotowire
Turner is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right patella tendonopathy.
Turner has been playing through a right calf injury as of late but also popped up on the injury report earlier in March due to a knee issue. Sunday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Bucks, and if Turner is unable to play, then Jericho Sims would be the top candidate to enter Milwaukee's starting lineup. Turner played 28 minutes in Saturday's 127-95 loss to the Spurs and finished with 15 points, six rebounds, one assist, two blocks, one steal and four three-pointers.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Cleared to play vs. Indiana
Rotowire
Turner (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Turner drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to right patella tendinitis, but the veteran center has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the Bucks' back-to-back set. He's failed to score in double digits in seven of his last eight outings, and over that span he has connected on just 37.1 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Sinks five triples
Rotowire
Turner accumulated 22 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to the Suns.
Turner added 15 of his 22 points from beyond the arc and combined with teammate Kyle Kuzma to drill 11 total threes. Turner had been riding a five-game skid in which he'd failed to score in double figures heading into Tuesday's clash, so this strong all-around showing is a clear step in the right direction for the 29-year-old.

Turner had one of his worst games of the season and has now posted back-to-back duds. Overall, Turner has struggled, shooting 44.2 percent from the field with averages of 12.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Shooting woes in win
Rotowire
Turner supplied two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two steals and one block across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 victory over the Heat.
Turner delivered a lackluster performance, finishing with fewer than five points for the fifth time this season. The big man played just three quarters Tuesday, as head coach Doc Rivers opted to use Jericho Sims down the stretch, with Sims playing the entirety of the fourth quarter. Turner has failed to score in double figures in three of his last five outings, shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 26.1 percent from beyond the arc during that stretch.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Chips in 14 in return
Rotowire
Turner (calf) recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 25 minutes during Sunday's 122-94 loss to the Raptors.
The veteran center was back in the starting five after missing the Bucks' prior two games -- one on each side of the All-Star break -- with a calf strain, and the lopsided score gave head coach Doc Rivers an excuse to give Turner a little less than his usual workload. Turner has struggled to make a consistent impact in his first season with Milwaukee, but he's drained at least one three-pointer in 16 straight appearances dating back to Jan. 4, averaging 13.7 points, 6.2 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.8 blocks and 1.5 assists over that stretch.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Questionable versus Toronto
Rotowire
Turner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Turner has missed the last two games due to right calf soreness that initially flared up during warmups on Feb. 12. While he was unable to suit up for Friday's win over the Pelicans, the move to questionable suggests he is nearing a return to action. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still without a firm timetable, Turner's potential return would provide a massive boost to a Milwaukee frontcourt currently leaning on Jericho Sims, Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis and Ousmane Dieng.

Turner (calf) is out for Friday's game against New Orleans.
Turner picked up a calf injury prior to Milwaukee's last game before the All-Star break, and he's slated to miss a second straight game after being ruled out for Friday.
