Pistons eyeing Myles Turner in free agency?

Haliburton’s shot, which provided a stunning end to an unusually sloppy night for the Pacers, silenced an Oklahoma City crowd that had expected to see a wire-to-wire victory. Pacers center Myles Turner deflected a lob pass on the Thunder’s final possession to seal the improbable win. Haliburton finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, while Pacers forward Pascal Siakam posted a team-high 19 points, including a clutch basket in the final minute, and 10 rebounds. “We just had to hang in,” Pacers Coach Rick Carlisle said. “The first half was rough. We were within reach. We just said, ‘Hey, keep chipping away at the rock.’ We have a lot of experience in these kinds of games. Our guys have a real good feel for what it’s all about.” -via Washington Post / June 6, 2025

“I expect nothing less from the Simon family,” Pacers center Myles Turner said. “I mean, they’re a very accommodating group, especially because their players in the organization, something they take a lot of pride in. So it’s going to be amazing just to have my peoples up there and just restless to have the support. It’s going into a hostile environment, so just take as much support as you can.” -via WISH-TV / June 4, 2025

“I think it’s a new blueprint for the league,” said Myles Turner, the longest-tenured Pacers player. “I think the years of the super teams and stacking, it’s just not as effective as it once was, you know what I mean? Since I’ve been in the league, the NBA has been very trendy; it just shifts. But the new trend now is just kind of what we’re doing. OKC does the same thing — young guys get out and run, defend and use the power of friendship.” -via New York Times / June 3, 2025
