Turner agrees to stay with Pacers on 2-year extension

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — Myles Turner is staying with the Indiana Pacers a while longer. The two-time NBA blocks champion has agreed to a two-year contract extension, keeping Indiana’s starting five intact through next season. Instead, president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard and Carlisle continued saying they thought Turner could be part of what Indiana’s future, and Turner’s commitment to the Pacers never wavered. “As long as I’m in this uniform, I’m going to go out there and represent the state how I’m supposed to represent it and represent my team in the same manner.” Playing alongside point guard Tyrese Haliburton for most of this season has helped Turner deliver a long-awaited breakthrough since he was drafted at age 19 with the 11th overall selection in 2015. All five of this season’s starters are signed through next season and two, Haliburton and forward Aaron Nesmith, won’t become restricted free agents until 2024-25 — the same year Turner’s new deal expires.
