REPORT: Indiana Expected to Trade Myles Turner At the Deadline

Myles Turner is set to be a totally free representative after the season’s conclusion if he does not sign an extension before the trade due date in February.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Indiana and Turner have actually opened extension talks. Matt Moore of Action Network reported that if no offer can be worked out, the Pacers may pull the trigger and move on from the eighth-year veteran.

Turner is balancing 16.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per video game on 55.6 percent shooting from the field and 39.8 percent from beyond the arc. He’s been the topic of trade reports for a number of seasons regardless of being among the leading defensive huge males in the League while obstructing 2.3 shots per video game for his profession.

Over his last 5 looks, Turner has actually installed 19.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per video game and is tearing down 62.3 percent of his shots.

The Pacers (21-18) are seventh in the Eastern Conference, directly in the play-in competition, and hold the tiebreaker over the New York Knicks. Indiana had actually won 6 of its last 8 video games and was on a four-game winning streak before the Philadelphia 76ers snapped it on Wednesday.
