Overview

  • Turner officially joined the Bucks on July 13 after spending his first ten NBA seasons with the Pacers.
  • He cited organizational misalignment with Indiana’s front office as his primary reason for departing.
  • The 6-foot-11 center will fill the void left by Brook Lopez and bolster New Milwaukee’s rim protection and 3-point spacing.
  • Tyrese Haliburton is set to miss the entire 2025-26 season after tearing his Achilles in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
  • Indiana is now searching for frontcourt reinforcements after owners declined to resolve Turner’s alignment concerns despite tax-paying willingness.
