STEVE ALEXANDER: Myles Turner's season is off to a rough start. Trade rumors, Pacers tanking, already in play for fantasy managers, and now he stepped on a ball boy's ankle in pregame warm ups on Wednesday. He's out for at least a week.

Total buzzkill if you've got Myles Turner on your team. I do think that if he gets traded, and it seems like he inevitably will, he's going to be OK wherever he lands because of his ability to block shots and hit 3-pointers, so I think he'll be fine. But this injury combined with the Pacers tanking, I've got a weird vibe about Myles Turner this year.

Hang on to him if you already drafted him. Don't do anything drastic and drop him, but expect a wild ride. And I think if you can trade Myles Turner for something of value right now, you might have to look into that.
