Mavs out of Myles Turner sweepstakes?

Marc Stein: The Mavericks have been frequently linked to a trade pursuit of Indiana’s Myles Turner, but league sources say Dallas had already backed off on its interest even before Turner’s foot injury and with its team defense already flourishing at No. 5 overall in defensive efficiency

Trading for Myles Turner now means you’re still getting him for $18 million next season. What draft picks and/or young prospects is that worth to the Knicks?
They have Obi, Grimes and Quickley. Plus three first round picks in next two years. – 1:08 PM Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Pacers announced Myles Turner has a stress reaction in his foot – a serious injury that could be a precursor to a stress fracture. Not an ideal time to trade for Myles at all. – 1:01 PM Jeff Stotts @InStreetClothes
Re: Myles Turner: A stress reaction is a precursor to a stress fracture. Stopping activity & treating any underlying contributing factors can allow natural remodeling to catch up & repair the injury site. Involved bone is key w/ metatarsal fractures the most common. – 12:55 PM Marc Stein @TheSteinLine

Myles Turner being hurt changes the trade equation considerably. You have to think about acquiring him for next year and beyond and whatever you get this year is a bonus of sorts. Assuming you get anything at all, given the nature of his injury. – 12:48 PM JD Shaw @JShawNBA

More on this storyline

Adrian Wojnarowski: Pacers center Myles Turner is expected to be sidelined beyond the February 10 NBA trade deadline, sources tell ESPN. Team says he will be re-examined in two weeks, but teams interested in trading for Turner will have to do due diligence on injury as they weigh offers. -via Twitter @wojespn / January 18, 2022 Adrian Wojnarowski: Turner’s been central to Indiana’s trade talks, and a number of teams have shown interest. The injury doesn’t make a trade impossible, but it certainly could be an obstacle in Pacers getting max value for him at deadline. Team can always wait for the offseason to make a deal too. -via Twitter @wojespn / January 18, 2022 Pacers forward/center Myles Turner – who missed yesterday’s game against the Clippers due to a sore left ankle/foot – has been examined by multiple specialists, who have determined the injury to be a stress reaction in his left foot. Turner will continue to receive treatment and will be re-examined in two weeks, at which time the Pacers’ medical team will re-assess his status. -via NBA.com / January 18, 2022
