PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has been cleared to return following a seven-game absence because of a concussion.
Coach Nate McMillan was to play Turner off the bench Friday night against Philadelphia.
Turner had 21 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks in Indiana’s season-opening win over Brooklyn on Oct. 18 before being sidelined.

McMillan had Domantas Sabonis as the starting center against the 76ers. He said Turner will not be under a minutes restriction, but his conditioning will likely limit his playing time.
Turner’s return paired him against Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid in a matchup of promising young centers.
