Myles Turner signs extension with Pacers

Myles Turner signs extension with Pacers

This is a very rare contract extension where not only does Turner get more money in the future, but he is getting more money in the present. The contract both sides agreed upon was a renegotiation-and-extension.

The extension is set for two years, $60 million dollars. In the end, this is a win-win for both sides. Indiana is able to create a new salary cap that allows for $10 million to be used before the trade deadline, which is vital to them if they want to get another piece to this team. For Turner, this allows more money and more stability.

With the new deal coming together, do not expect the team to move him ahead of the trade deadline. If they were going to trade him then they would have signed and traded him, however, since they didn’t, Indy is keeping him.

Myles Turner will be with the Pacers through the 2024-25 season.

Two first-rounders are what it is going to take to get Turner/Hield

There is always a price to get something, always. For the Lakers, they have found that out very quickly involving the Pacers and some of their players. Los Angeles has been in contact with Indiana about Myles Turner and Buddy Hield; mainly Hield, ever since pulling out of the Hield trade and trading for Russell Westbrook.

The original deal was the Lakers sending Russell Westbrook and a first-round pick over to the Pacers for Myles Turner, Buddy Hield, and other assets. However, those talks are dead and that trade offer may be dead forever.

The Pacers would consider picking back up trade talks with the Lakers, but at a price. Throw in another first-rounder and Indy’s front office will be engaging again. That is the price the LakeShow will have to pay to have negotiating talks for Hield and Turner.

The Lakers have been actively pursuing Kyrie Irving (Brooklyn Nets) and Buddy Hield (Indiana Pacers) this offseason.

Myles Turner’s injury is better than what it looks like!

Myles Turner’s injury is better than what it looks like! As strange as that may sound it is true; been confirmed by us (CourtSideHeat), ESPN, even the Pacers confirmed it too.

Since suffering an avulsion fracture in his right hand, shown by the MRI, things were not expected to turn out well. However, there is some positive news.

Yes, there will be some time off. But Turner does not need/require surgery, which is great because that means he won’t need several months off while trying to heal and rehab.

On January 14th, he did suffer the injury against the Trail Blazers. Looked painfully bad when the tape and footage were released during the game; however, again, his HC has stated that he did attend today’s practice in “good spirits” with his hand wrapped.

Here is what HC Bjorkgren had to say about his injury:

“He’s a stud. … There’s nothing that’s going to stop him,” Bjorkgren said following practice. “There was first news that this could be two or three weeks and all that. He comes up to me and he’s like, ‘Coach, no way.’ … The thing I like most about him is what he said to me today and just his toughness. He didn’t sit out one part of practice. They put like a little pad on his hand and they taped it up.

Being listed as day-to-day helps especially with all the uncertainties concerning that injury. Turner has been averaging 4 blocks a game and is leading the league in blocks, as long as we are concerned: He is not going to be missing many games.
