US EditionRe-Signing Myles Turner Is Still 'No. 1 Priority' for Pacers Offseason, Rick Carlisle Says
MARION COUNTY, INDIANA, JUN 24 – Chris Paul, a future Hall of Famer, is expected to join the Pacers to fill the void left by Haliburton, who will miss the entire 2025-26 season due to a torn Achilles tendon.
- On June 25, 2025, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle emphasized that securing a new contract for experienced center Myles Turner is the team's foremost objective this offseason.
- This priority follows the Pacers' recent NBA Finals loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and star guard Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury forcing him to miss the 2025-26 season.
- At 29 years old, Turner has been with the Pacers since they selected him in the 2015 draft and posted averages of 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2 blocks each game during the most recent season.
- Carlisle highlighted Myles as a key figure in the team's plans and mentioned that the organization is now able to start discussions with him since his contract will expire on June 30.
- Re-Signing Turner could help maintain roster stability during Haliburton's recovery and keep the core group of playoff starters intact for several more seasons.
