Overview
- Pacers fans booed a pregame tribute for Turner at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and jeered him on nearly every touch.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo hit a buzzer-beating jumper for a 117-115 Milwaukee win, then gave a thumbs-down and shushed the crowd.
- Turner called the reception "disheartening" after a decade with Indiana and later posted a pointed message on X about growth being booed.
- Doc Rivers said he was "really disappointed" by the treatment and argued Turner "wasn't looking to leave" but "was made available."
- The split remains contested: Turner says Indiana undervalued him before he signed a four-year deal around $107 million with Milwaukee, while the Pacers say they were not given a chance to match.
