BOWLING GREEN — Justin Turner sustained a hamstring injury in Bowling Green’s 91-84 overtime victory on Sunday at the Paradise Jam tournament in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Falcons’ leading scorer had 10 points in 20 minutes of playing time, but was forced to leave the game and did not return, as BG rallied to send the game to overtime and then won.
According to Bowling Green, there is no timetable for Turner’s return. He will be further evaluated when the Falcons return home Tuesday.
Turner did not play in Monday’s game against Nevada. The Wolfpack defeated the Falcons 77-62.
Bowling Green defeated Conference USA favorite Western Kentucky and Cincinnati to advance to the title game.
Before Monday’s game, Bowling Green (5-2) had suffered its only loss at Louisiana State.
In Turner’s absence Sunday, guard Dylan Frye tied a career high with 28 points, set a career high with nine rebounds, and had six assists.
