Indiana's starting five will stay intact through next season. ESPN reports the deal is for $60 million.
The two-time NBA blocks champion has agreed to a two-year contract extension, keeping Indiana's starting five intact through next season. Terms of the deal have not been released but The Athletic and espn.com first reported the deal is for $60 million and will pay Turner an additional amount this season to help Indiana spread the money out for salary cap purposes.
In recent years, Turner has widely been rumored to be on the move. Many thought that the former University of Texas star would be dealt last summer when the Pacers were revamping the roster. 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.But with Haliburton running the show, his offense has improved, too. Turner is averaging 17.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, shooting 54.4% from the field and 39.1% on 3-pointers — all career bests — while still blocking 2.4 shots.
