Indiana has dropped three straight, and is coming off an embarrassing defensive performance. The Blue and Gold gave up a franchise-record 158 points in a home loss to Charlotte Wednesday night. Domantas Sabonis might return against his former team. The All-Star forward has missed the past four games with a sprained ankle, but returned to practice Thursday. Coach Rick Carlisle also said that he hopes center Myles Turner will return sooner than later. Turner had another scan of his injured foot, which revealed good news, and Carlisle said Turner will ramp up training soon. The Pacers and Thunder tip off at 8 p.m. Eastern Friday night. After that, Indiana will travel to Dallas, where Carlisle will face his former team Saturday night.
