Pelicans’ Cousins fined for language toward LA, Utah fans (Sports Betting News)

Taylor Hendricks suffered a fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

Hendricks, who will have further testing in Utah, is expected to miss the rest of the season.

Hendricks was injured without any contact in the third quarter.

“He’s put in a lot of hard work. He’s a great kid, and so we’re really just trying to focus on him, his health, keeping him up, his spirits up as he begins the road of his recovery. But these are the moments in sports that suck,” said Will Hardy.

Myles Turner and the Indiana Pacers have reached agreement on a rare renegotiation-and-extension. Turner will up his currently salary by over $17 million, while adding two new years and nearly $41 million to his deal.

Because Turner is extension-eligible and the Pacers have cap space, they were able to push Turner’s salary from $18 million to $35 million for this season. From there, Indiana added two years to the deal through the 2024-25 season.

This extension takes Turner off the trade market ahead of next month’s trade deadline. In addition, the renegotiation will bring Indiana over the salary floor for this season. The Pacers will have roughly $10 million in cap space to work with before the February 9 trade deadline.
