Myles Turner, the Indiana Pacers' star, is set to return for Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder after missing the media sessions following Game 3 because of illness. Turner was not included on the team's official injury report prior to the clash, although his absence first caused worry. The veteran star, who experienced a respiratory illness during Game 3 and was uncertain for Game 4, will now try to help the Pacers take a 3-1 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Turner has excelled in the NBA Finals thus far, averaging 13.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.7 blocks per game while hitting 42.4 percent of his shots from the field and 28.6 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.

Turner was not accessible to the media after Game 3 because of his illness, despite the fact that he never appeared on the official injury report.

After his team's 116-107 victory on Wednesday, Indiana coach Lee Carlisle gave a health update on Turner.

"Myles is feeling unwell. Carlisle stated, "He hasn't been feeling well the last couple of days; it's been affecting his wind," adding that he might not even be with us tomorrow.

While NBA insider Shams Charania discussed Turner's contract on ESPN's Pat McAfee show, rumors are circulating that the Indiana Pacers are prepared to pay the luxury tax to re-sign him.

"The Indiana Pacers are aware that they must rejoin Myles Turner. They can't afford to lose him ... the group is ready and anticipating paying the luxury tax," he said.

Indiana Pacers look for 3-1 advantage

Tyrese Haliburton led the way in a decisive victory in Game 1, but the squad experienced some difficulties in Game 2. With strong, powerful plays in Game 3, they bounced back remarkably, sending the Pacers solidly in charge of the matchup.

During the regular season, Oklahoma City only experienced two instances of losing consecutive games. In the postseason, they have not yet lost two games in a row.

Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Thursday, "Being down 2-1 in a series can have emotions associated with it, but carrying those into the next experience isn't going to help anybody. Similarly, them being up 2-1 and bringing that in isn't going to help them, either." You must compete once the ball is in the air. We've gotten into the habit of that. We must reiterate that tomorrow.
