Myles Turner has agreed to a two-year, $60M extension with the Indiana Pacers, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The new deal will keep Turner with the team until the end of the 2024/25 season.
The 26-year-old big man is averaging career highs in scoring and rebounds (17.5 points, 7.9 rebounds) while blocking 2.4 shots per game for an Indiana team that is currently ninth in the East standings with a 24-27 record. The Pacers have lost nine of their last 10 games.
Myles Turner has been the subject of trade talks all season as he was in the final year of his contract, but with this move, the Pacers plan to shut down trade talks and create a stellar team with Turner, Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin.
