The Indiana Pacers aren’t a good team yet, but they’re steadily approaching goodness.

If their busy draft night […]

Myles Turner and Buddy Hield have been Indiana Pacers’ teammates since the 2022 NBA trade deadline, but neither player can seem to escape the shadow of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Monty Williams’ poor relationship with Deandre Ayton during the coach’s time with the Phoenix Suns is well known around NBA circles. That’s why many have thought that Ayton’s time with the team was over when he was a restricted free agent in the 2022 offseason. The Suns, however, matched the offer sheet that Ayton received […]

If there’s any player in the NBA who is familiar with trade rumors, it’s Myles Turner. The Pacers center has had his name come up in trade chatter seemingly every season for the past few years and yet nothing has ever materialized.

The Indiana Pacers have improved this season after winning only 25 games last year. The Pacers have reason to be optimistic, but their roster is far from complete.

The Indiana Pacers will already be without Tyrese Haliburton on Sunday when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

With five games remaining on the docket, the Indiana Pacers find themselves looking to nab a top-10 slot in the Eastern Conference standings and participate in this year’s play-in tournament. Their Thursday bout against the Oklahoma City Thunder is hoped to be the start of a hot closeout to the season after having dropped their […]

Mathematically speaking, the Indiana Pacers still have a shot of securing a spot in the Play-In tournament out in the East. At the moment, they are 12th in the conference with a 33-44 record and are 3.5 games behind the 10th-placed Chicago Bulls. It’s a gargantuan task, no doubt, but on paper, it’s still doable. […]

The Indiana Pacer scored a 139-123 road win over the Milwaukee Bucks Thursday night, but not before Myles Turner put Giannis Antetokoumpo in a brutal facial.

Indiana Pacers star center Myles Turner has missed the last two games due to a back injury.

So when the Pacers […]

Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner put together a terrific two-way performance in Thursday’s game against the Houston Rockets.

For much of the 2022-23 campaign, Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner found himself as the subject of plenty of trade rumors. However, after months of speculation, the Pacers did not only keep Turner, they also gave him a two-year, $58 million extension, around $17 million of which he received as a bonus to his current […]

In today’s NBA game, consistent three-point shooting is must. Not just from guards and wings, but from centers as well. In the past, centers didn’t use to roam to the perimeter and knock down three-point shots. It’s a lot more common in today’s game. That’s probably the main reason why Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner […]

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton and big man Myles Turner both starred in Saturday’s game against the Washington Wizards. Haliburton finished with 21 points, six rebounds, seven assists, and two steals, while Turner scored 20 points on 7-for-10 shooting from the field in the 127-113 Indiana loss. So when Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, and the […]

Clearly, Myles Turner is happy to stay long-term with the Indiana Pacers despite all the trade rumors he’s been through.

During the preseason and earlier in the campaign, he was linked for a potential move to the Los […]

The NBA trade deadline is fast approaching and we fully expect a number of big moves to go down in the coming weeks. However, one man who won’t be going anywhere is Myles Turner. The Indiana Pacers made sure this was going to be the case after recently signing the highly sought-after big man to […]

The Indiana Pacers are entering the trade deadline in quite an interesting spot, as they had been a very solid team early on in the season, but have fallen apart while Tyrese Haliburton has found himself on the sidelines injured. Things have become even more confusing for them now that they have signed one of […]

$60,000,000. That’s how much the Indiana Pacers had to commit to Myles Turner in order to make him decide to remain with the squad. The Pacers clearly wanted to keep him on board in spite of all the trade rumors linking him to opposing teams, and Indiana put their money where their mouth is by […]

As the 2023 NBA trade deadline on February 9 gets closer and closer, the Indiana Pacers have some serious decisions to make. The team currently sits in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, tied in the loss column with the 10th-place Washington Wizards and 11th-place Chicago Bulls. That means the team is a bad weekend […]

At their best, the Indiana Pacers were among the best in the Eastern Conference. Early in January, they had a 23-18 win-loss record. That was ninth best in the league and sixth best in the East. Since then, however, they have gone 1-8, and have sunk to ninth place in the conference. Should they plug […]

With the 2023 NBA trade deadline just a few days away (February 9), the New York Knicks sit in seventh place in the East at 25-23. The team needs to make some moves and have some things break their way to put together a team that can get into the playoffs (not just the play-in) […]

The Los Angeles Clippers were hoping to emerge as a serious title contender in the 2022-23 season, but so far, that simply has not happened. While they are sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference, their 25-24 record is certainly not what fans were expecting from them entering the season, and it has resulted […]

The Indiana Pacers have arrived earlier than expected. Acquiring Tyrese Haliburton in exchange for Domantas Sabonis was quite the masterstroke that expedited their contending timeline. However, Haliburton’s knee and elbow injuries threaten to derail Indiana’s surprising 2022-23 campaign, which complicates their trade deadline plans even further. It’s no secret that the Pacers have tried to […]
