US EditionPacers Shocked By Myles Turner Departure, Forced To Pivot At Center
MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WISCONSIN, JUL 7 – Myles Turner used his unrestricted free agent status to secure a $107 million contract with the Bucks, who aim to strengthen their roster around Giannis Antetokounmpo.
- Myles Turner signed a four-year, $107 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday after leaving the Indiana Pacers.
- Turner entered free agency without restrictions during the off-season, even though the Pacers engaged in sincere negotiations and were ready to exceed the luxury tax threshold to retain him.
- Last season, Turner put up an average of 15.6 points, grabbed 6.5 rebounds, and blocked two shots per game, while distinguishing himself as the only NBA player to combine at least two blocks per contest with shooting over 39% from beyond the arc.
- Pacers president Kevin Pritchard expressed shock at Turner's departure and said, “He gave 10 great years here” and that the team wanted to retain him deeply.
- With Turner gone and Tyrese Haliburton missing the entire 2025-26 season due to injury, the Pacers are seeking new options at center, including signing Jay Huff and re-signing James Wiseman.
