Surprisingly, they accomplished this feat of grit without Myles Turner manning the low-post area.</p><p>However, if Rick Carlisle’s group is going to earn their second win in a row, they may need the big man back in the lineup.</p><p>A left ankle sprain denied Turner the opportunity to face the C’s in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, which is particularly disappointing since the entire team probably had the game circled in its mental calendar. He will have other chances to face and beat the champs, however.</p><p>The Pacers’ foremost objectives right now are to keep building continuity (Pascal Siakam has not been in Indiana for a full season yet) and improve their defensive discipline (already underway).</p><p>Turner is instrumental in making sure that the squad fulfills both of these goals, especially the latter one. The Pacers and their fans eagerly want to know if he will be able to suit up in Friday’s road game against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans.</p><p><i><b><i><b>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(free trial)</a>*</b></i></b></i></p><h2>Myles Turner’s injury status for Pacers-Pelicans matchup</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMAGN-07.jpg"><figcaption>Grace Smith-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite Turner initially being listed questionable on the injury report, head coach Rick Carlisle <a href="https://twitter.com/_Andrew_Lopez/status/1852482476729663723" rel="noopener">expects the veteran center to play</a>, per Andrew Lopez. His presence inside will be of great importance to an Indy team that wants to prevent Williamson from going downhill. Unfortunately, though, guard Andrew Nembhard will not be available for Indiana (left knee soreness).</p><p>Given the number of scoring options the Pacers have at their disposal, which includes possible <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-bennedict-mathurin-torches-celtics-feat-not-seen-over-20-seasons">breakout candidate Bennedict Mathurin</a>, Turner’s value primarily lies in his ability to clog up the paint. The two-time blocks leader averaged 1.9 swats per game, 6.9 rebounds and 17.1 points per game last season. Carlisle should be fine with the 28-year-old’s offense dipping a little if it means he can help Indiana take a leap on defense.</p><p>The Pacers captivated NBA fans in 2023-24 with their dynamic, high-powered offense, but they stressed out many people with their inefficient effort on the other end of the floor. The arrival of Siakam has definitely made a difference, and the team is faring well through its first five games of this season– holding opponents to 32 percent 3-point shooting.</p><p>Indiana is just waiting for the improvements to be reflected in the standings. A healthy Myles Turner can get the Pacers closer to their ceiling. It remains to be seen how his ankle will hold up during Friday night’s showdown against the Pelicans in the Smoothie King Center, but he is apparently suiting up. The action commences at 8 p.m. ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His other teammates are going to have to look to score, and Bennedict Mathurin has never been afraid of the moment.</p><p>Mathurin was a solid player for the Pacers last year before he suffered a torn labrum in his right shoulder last season. He had to go through seven months of no-basketball rehab, and he was finally able to return on the opening night of this season, where he finished with 19 points and six rebounds. After the game, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-bennedict-mathurin-shares-powereful-reaction-first-game-after-injury">Mathurin shared his reaction</a> to his first game back.</p><p>“It feels amazing. Stepping away from the game for seven months makes me realize how blessed I am,” Mathurin said. “I’m just really glad we got the win tonight…We had to step on the court with the right mentality and come out with energy.</p><p>“I work hard. I can’t really say anything else other than I’m blessed, and I’m thankful. It’s the first of many. We got 81 (games) left plus the playoffs.”</p><p>So far this year, he hasn’t seen that many shot attempts, but the game against the Celtics showed what he is capable of when given the opportunity. The Pacers are loaded at the guard position already with Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, and T.J. McConnell, so Mathurin is going to have to do what he does best to get minutes, which is score.</p><p>When Haliburton finally starts to turn it on, the Pacers can again be one of the top offenses in the league. Last season, they were one of the league leaders in pace, and after bringing back the same squad, they’ll be looking to do the same thing this year. Hopefully, the only difference is that they’ll have Mathurin for the whole season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But now that he’s healthy, he appears to be back with a vengeance.</p><p>During the Pacers’ preseason contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, it was Mathurin who stole the show in a 129-117 win for Indiana. In just 19 minutes of play, Mathurin filled up the box score, finishing with 25 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field (5-of-8 from three) and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe.</p><p>The Cavs’ defense had no answer for Mathurin as he got to his spots at will in what was an electric performance from the third-year guard out of Arizona.</p><p>Mathurin is certainly making fans remember what he’s capable of, and his Pacers teammate Myles Turner couldn’t help but <a href="https://x.com/Original_Turner/status/1844567968597864911" rel="noopener">hype up the impending return</a> of the 22-year-old guard.</p><p>“League Ain’t Ready ♨️,” Turner wrote on his official account on X, formerly known as Twitter.</p><p>The 2023-24 season, in some ways, was an improvement for Mathurin. He was more efficient when it came to scoring from the field, although he did lose some of his scoring value as he got to the foul line less often than he did in his rookie campaign. But perhaps Year 3 will finally be the Pacers guard’s true breakout season.</p><p>The Pacers, after all, traded away Buddy Hield last season as they looked to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-rick-carlisle-sounds-off-buddy-hield-trade-impact-on-bennedict-mathurin">open up more minutes for Mathurin</a>. It was unfortunate that Mathurin sustained a season-ending injury that prevented him from seizing that opportunity with open arms, but at the very least, he can now show that a delay does not necessarily mean a denial.</p><h2><b>Can Bennedict Mathurin stand out in a crowded Pacers backcourt?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Bennedict-Mathurin-layup.jpg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While Bennedict Mathurin was on the mend following surgery to repair his injured shoulder, the Pacers stumbled upon a winning formula. They started Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith on the wing.</p><p>Nembhard, in particular, showed some incredible defensive workrate as well as an ability to create and make difficult shots off the dribble that kept the Pacers’ offense alive even as Tyrese Haliburton suffered a season-ending injury during their ECF clash against the Boston Celtics.</p><p>From the looks of everything, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/predicting-pacers-record-2024-25-season-schedule-release">Pacers will be rolling</a> with the same starting lineup that they had in the playoffs, which means that Mathurin will have to come off the bench, at least to start the upcoming season. He is also doing his part to make sure that he’s one of the first names head coach Rick Carlisle calls upon whenever the starters need rest.</p><p>Mathurin appears to be a better fit off the bench anyway. Haliburton and Pascal Siakam command their fair share of touches, which may relegate Mathurin to more of a spectator role on offense.</p><p>Mathurin is at his best when he can create offense for himself, and playing a featured role off the bench may be the Pacers’ key to getting the best out of him. But at the end of the day, he’s only 22 years of age, making it likely that he takes a leap in his third professional season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Myles Turner is entering Year 10 of his career, and yet here he remains as a member of the Indiana Pacers. Turner, for what feels like his entire career, has been at the forefront of trade rumors aplenty, but he appears to be off the market for now with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/indiana-pacers-bold-predictions-2024-25-season-schedule-release">Pacers having blossomed</a> into one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.</p><p>Starting centers who can space the floor and protect the rim are worth their weight in gold, and Turner no longer has the pressure on him to be anything more than that now that Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam have taken the reigns for the Pacers on offense. But his lengthy stay on the trade block has left such a mark on him that <a href="https://hoopshype.com/rumor/3195922/" rel="noopener">he still doesn’t feel</a> like he has a long-term future in Indiana.</p><p>“I can’t help but laugh. I’m gonna keep it a stack. Every year at Indiana has been a contract year at this point, whether you’re fighting rumors or staying true to your grind and what not. I don’t really feel too much different,” Turner said, per Indystar (subscription required) via HoopsHype.</p><p>Turner is in the middle of another <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/player/_/id/17839/myles-turner" rel="noopener">literal contract year</a>, so once again, there is pressure for him to play his role for the Pacers to a T. Regardless, he has become less expendable now that the Pacers are winning again, and it makes total sense for Indiana to come to terms to an extension with him sooner than later.</p><p>Still only 28 years old, Turner should have plenty of productive years in front of him. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-myles-turner-first-take-skepticism-rick-carlisle">The Pacers don’t exactly have</a> a ready-made replacement for him in the event of a trade or a departure from him in free agency, so expect Indiana to lock Turner up to a long-term contract extension within the upcoming season.</p><h2><b>Myles Turner is a crucial member of the Pacers’ pace-and-space roster</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Pacers-center-Myles-Turner-33-celebrates-a-made-basket.jpg"></figure><p>Myles Turner has never been a typical big man for the Pacers. He’s not quite adept at holding his own at the boards, while he’s not the most physical big man when it comes to scoring in the post. But he opens up a five-out offense for the Pacers; as one would recall, Indiana was running on a historically-great offensive pace to begin the 2023-24 season, with Turner playing a huge part in that.</p><p>The Pacers’ playoff starting lineup (Turner, Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith) had an impressive net rating of <a href="https://www.nba.com/stats/lineups/advanced?slug=advanced&amp;SeasonType=Playoffs&amp;TeamID=1610612754" rel="noopener">+14.1 in 288 minutes</a> played against tough teams such as the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and Milwaukee Bucks. That five-man combination has the right blend of playmaking, tough-shot making off the bounce, as well as speed, allowing them to go out and play at a breakneck pace to spread the opposition thin.</p><p>Behind Turner, the Pacers do have some solid center depth, but it’s not as if they can replicate what the 28-year-old brings to the table. Isaiah Jackson is more in the mold of a traditional rim-running center, and he provides no floor-spacing value whatsoever. Obi Toppin can run some small-ball five, but he’s not the rim protector Turner is. James Wiseman is a versatile scoring option at the five, but his all-around defense is suspect.</p><p>Simply put, Turner’s importance to the team cannot be matched by his competitors for minutes, which should make his place on the Pacers roster safe — at least for now.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was named the Eastern Conference Finals MVP and had the Larry Bird Trophy right next to him on the press podium.</p><p>He finished with 29 points on 50% shooting from the field to go along with six rebounds, two assists, and three steals. Meanwhile, Turner struggled with eight points, five fouls and four turnovers.</p><p>When Brown was asked for his opinion on his scuffle with Turner, he kept things lighthearted.</p><p>“Myles is a good kid. Let’s start with that,” he said in his postgame remarks. “And I think like, throughout the series, he kind of loses control of his body a little bit and likes to throw his body around. And we got the offensive foul but I was just letting him know, just watch it. I don’t think it was nothing crazy. I didn’t push him extremely hard or nothing like that, but emotions is flying.”</p><p>The C’s have had some other tense encounters during their run to the 2024 NBA Finals. At the end of Game 1 of the first round, Miami Heat wing Caleb Martin upended <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-jayson-tatum-playoff-feat-breaks-lebron-james-record">Celtics star Jayson Tatum</a>.

It seemed like Brown was perfectly content with that fact during his press conference.</p><p>“[Myles] feel like, he’s at home, he got his family watching and stuff, his girl was probably watching, so he had to do something,” Brown said. “But Myles is a good kid, and I’ve known Myles for a long time, we’re good friends. So, it’s all love.”</p><p>Although he was dubbed a “good kid” by Brown, Turner is actually seven months older. Age aside, Brown was able to make winning plays down the stretch while Turner had zero fourth-quarter points.</p><p>“I think I’m one of the best two-way wings, guards, whatever you want to say, in this game,” Brown declared. “I don’t care who sees what, as long as my team knows my value, my city knows my value, my family. That’s all I really care about. But I like to set my hat on just being a versatile two-way wing and can do both at any point in time, and the last kind of four minutes of this game, you saw that.”</p><p>In the last three minutes of Game 4, Brown notched one game-tying basket, one steal, one block, and one game-winning assist to White. What the Georgia native did in the clutch essentially clinched the series for the Celtics.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">DERRICK WHITE FOR THE LEAD 😱<a href="https://t.co/w8lol3uEH2">pic.twitter.com/w8lol3uEH2</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1795287000318439775?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 28, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>More of that will be needed from Brown in the NBA Finals, as the Celtics prepare for Game 1 of the championship round against either the Dallas Mavericks or the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, June 6th.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Having played his entire NBA career so far with Indiana, Turner is a credible resource about what it’s like to play for a team that doesn’t always enjoy the attention and the shine of bigger market teams and traditional powerhouses.</p><p>“That’s life as an Indiana Pacer. It was the same thing as the last series. If you look at every single poll on ESPN, everyone picked the Knicks to win. If you look at the series before that with the Bucks, it might’ve been 80 percent of the people picking Milwaukee to win,” Turner said in a recent appearance on the HoopsHype podcast.</p><p>Turner seems fine with everyone thinking the Pacers are the underdogs, and he’d rather have his team use that label as bulletin board material.</p><p>“That’s something that, since I’ve been here, at least in my career, it’s been like that every single season. We don’t get TV games, and we’re not publicized like that. In the press, it’s never the Pacers won. It’s the Knicks lost. That’s regular stuff for us. We use it as fuel and as a chip on our shoulders. We definitely go in there, and it’s less pressure on us because if we’re the underdogs, we’re the uninvited guests. It’s up to us to go out there and prove everybody wrong. That’s the goal at the end of the day.”</p><p>Turner was the Pacers’ first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2015 NBA Draft. In each of his first five seasons in the NBA, Indiana made the playoffs. However, none of those trips to the postseason went beyond the first round. The Pacers then missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons before being good enough to be a playoff team again in the 2023-24 campaign.

After defeating the New York Knicks in Game 7 in their tough second-round series, the Pacers have seemingly exceeded all expectations in their first playoff appearance since 2020. But while there was always potential with the team’s roster, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-donte-divincenzo-pacers-myles-turner-fake-tough-guy-label-game-5">Pacers big man Myles Turner</a> said he had reservations <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-rick-carlisles-ref-rant-earns-fine-josh-hart-disrespectful-retort">about Rick Carlisle’s</a> return as head coach.</p><p>Before his latest stint with the Pacers, Carlisle had a more than decade-long tenure with the Dallas Mavericks, with whom he won the 2011 NBA Championship. Turner, as a Texas native, got to see Carlisle and his teams firsthand, but that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.</p><p>“I’ve got a lot of love for Rick,” Turner <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/myles-turner-surviving-pacers-trade-talks-tyrese-haliburton/id1249189650?i=1000656209494">said on</a> The HoopsHype Podcast with Michael Scotto. “Whenever Rick first got here, I didn’t know what to think because I grew up watching the Mavericks’ championship run, and I just was, obviously, familiar with who he was basketball-wise, but from things I heard from the outside it was, ‘Oh yeah he loves his basketball, but he’s kind of a weird guy,’ or ‘He’s really good at X’s and O’s, but he’s kind of a weird guy,’ and this and that.</p><p>“When I finally got to meet Rick one-on-one, I was like ‘Oh bro, he’s just like me.’ Weird isn’t the word to describe Rick. He just has a very straight-to-the-point type of personality. He doesn’t really bulls—t around. We’re going to get right to the point of what we’re talking about.</p><p>Turner, who has an extensive Lego collection, also expressed his appreciation for Carlisle’s passions in life.</p><p>“He’s someone who, obviously, has a phenomenal basketball mind, but as a person, he’s so well versed,” Turner said. “This dude, he flies planes, he’s a hell of a pianist, he’s someone who is in the gym literally every single day, like in the weight room with us every single day working out. I’ve got a lot of respect for who he is as a person.”</p><h2>Rick Carlisle, Pacers heading back to Eastern Conference Finals</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Rick-Carlisle-Pacers-on-the-sidelines.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Rick Carlisle, a former NBA player who an NBA Championship with the Boston Celtics in 1986, got his start in coaching with the New Jersey Nets in 1989. Nearly a decade into his coaching career, Carlisle found his way to the Indiana Pacers, with whom he served as an assistant under Larry Bird for three seasons. When Bird resigned as coach, he suggested Indiana hire his former Celtics teammate.</p><p>The Pacers passed on Carlisle then to hire Isiah Thomas, but after Thomas was fired in 2003 by Bird, who had returned and taken over as the team’s president, Carlisle also returned to Indiana to become the Pacers’ head coach. Carlisle brought with him some head coaching experience; after being passed over for the Pacers’ job, Carlisle was hired as the Detroit Pistons’ head coach. He led the Pistons to the playoffs in both of his seasons leading the team, including an Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 2003.</p><p>Carlisle found success with the Pacers, reaching the conference finals in his first season as head coach. His second season was largely derailed, though, by the ‘Malice at the Palace’ involving the Pacers and Pistons, the two teams Carlisle had coached to that point. The Pacers slipped in his Carlisle’s final two seasons during his first stint, leading to Carlisle’s dismissal in 2007.</p><p>In 2008, Carlisle returned to the sidelines, taking <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-jalen-brunson-rick-carlisle-mavs-drama-resurfaces-pacers-series">over the Dallas Mavericks</a>. The success was immediate; the Mavericks won 50 games in 2008-09, 55 in 2009-10, and 57 in 2010-11, the latter of which proved to be a magical season in which Carlisle won his first NBA Championship as a coach. After their greatest triumph in 2011, Carlisle’s teams would fail to win another playoff series during his tenure before being fired in 2021.</p><p>Fourteen years after being fired by Bird, Carlisle returned to the Pacers, who had fired Nate Bjorkgren after a single season. Tasked with leading Indiana through a rebuild, Carlisle oversaw a 25-57 first season back with the Pacers, his second-worst season in his head coaching career. The Pacers improved by 10 wins in year two under Carlisle as Tyrese Haliburton was named to his first NBA All-Star Game, but the jump this season was even greater.</p><p>In the third season under Carlisle, the Pacers, with one of the best offenses in NBA history, won 47 games, the most for the franchise since 2018-19. Indiana won its first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks, marking the first time in a decade that the Pacers had won a playoff series. It was also the first series win for Carlisle since 2011.</p><p>The Pacers then overcame a fatigued and injury-ravaged New York Knicks team in the second round, defeating their depleted opponents on the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-tyrese-haliburtons-instant-reaction-to-indianas-wild-game-7-win-vs-knicks">road in Game 7</a> to secure their first ECF appearance since 2014.</p><p>Reaching the NBA Finals, which the Pacers have not done since their lone appearance in 2000, will not be easy for Indiana. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-pacers-will-stun-world-with-eastern-conference-finals-upset-of-celtics">Boston Celtics, Carlisle’s former team</a> and the juggernaut who sported the best record in the NBA and thus the top seed in the Eastern Conference, decisively defeated both the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers en route to yet another ECF berth.</p><p>Game 1 of the Pacers vs. Celtics series is set for an 8 p.m. ET tipoff tonight.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

During the New York Knicks’ Tuesday win over the Indiana Pacers, a lot happened. From scuffles, to an anklebreaker, to Precious Achiuwa playing without a shoe, Madison Square Garden fans were entertained to say the least. Speaking of the scuffles, one of them involved Donte DiVincenzo and Myles Turner. Both got tangled up on a screen by Turner, which <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1790561367302312218" rel="noopener">resulted in exchanged words</a> and multiple players getting in to break up the altercation.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Myles Turner and Donte DiVincenzo had to be separated after getting into an altercation 👀🍿 </p><p> <a href="https://t.co/WA1aqMrMIv">pic.twitter.com/WA1aqMrMIv</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1790561367302312218?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Following the game, DiVincenzo <a href="https://twitter.com/SbondyNBA/status/1790584416617590939" rel="noopener">called out the</a> Pacers big man and his team.</p><p>“They’re trying to be tough guys,” DiVincenzo said, per the New York Post’s Stefan Bondy. “And that’s not their identity…Nobody is going to fight in the NBA. Take the foul and keep it moving. You’re not a tough guy.”</p><h2><b>It was a heated clash</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Myles-Turner-argues-with-Donte-DiVincenzo.jpg"><figcaption>© Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>That’s one way to add more fuel to the fire. The entire series has been a slugfest, with plenty of physical play and trash talk from both sides. Besides Donte DiVincenzo and Myles Turner, Game 5 also featured an altercation between New York center Isaiah Hartenstein and Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson. Following a hard screen by Jackson on DiVincenzo, Hartenstein made it known that he didn’t appreciate the act, confronting Jackson face-to-face. Alec Burks joined in on the action, pushing Jackson away by the neck. All three were assessed with technical fouls.</p><p>Additionally, DiVincenzo was already jawing at TJ McConnell during the first quarter. It seemed like the history of those Knicks-Pacers matchups in the 90s still lives on today, and it makes for top-tier entertainment. While some might disapprove of watching many heated moments take place, it’s bound to happen. After all, there’s a reason why they call it playoff basketball. With how intense the clashes become, emotions will surely run high.</p><h2><b>The Knicks take control of the series once again</b></h2><p>The Knicks are currently up 3-2, with the series shifting back in their favor. The team took the first two games at home, but the Pacers also protected their homecourt, tying the series with victories in Games 3 and 4. The Knicks experienced a blowout days ago, which was why they returned the favor on Tuesday.</p><p>Jalen Brunson scored 44 points <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-tom-thibodeau-shouts-out-secret-weapon-pacers-game-5">while Alec Burks</a> and Josh Hart added 18 points each as New York broke away in the second quarter and led the entire way. As the final buzzer sounded, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-new-york-fans-troll-pacers-with-disrespectful-chant-after-game-5-win">the Knicks took home</a> a 30-point victory, 121-91.</p><p>One stat that stood out between both teams was rebounding. New York did what they do best: control the boards. The Knicks outrebounded the Pacers, 53-29. Additionally, New York hauled down 20 offensive boards, 12 of which came from Hartenstein.

Topping all of Sunday’s highlights would probably be Myles Turner’s powerful poster over Brook Lopez. During the third quarter, TJ McConnell attacked the paint in transition to attract two Bucks defenders, one of whom was Lopez. The Pacers guard suddenly dropped the ball off to a trailing Turner, who went straight up against a recovering Lopez. Turner <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1784746527652467171" rel="noopener">threw the ball in</a> over his defender, causing Gainbridge Fieldhouse to erupt into a frenzy.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">MYLES TURNER PUT BROOK LOPEZ ON A POSTER 😱</p><p> <a href="https://t.co/1eRjff0nEN">pic.twitter.com/1eRjff0nEN</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1784746527652467171?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 29, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>With the victory in Game 4, the Pacers are now up 3-1 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-bucks-are-doomed-vs-pacers-after-damian-lillard-injury-update">against the Bucks</a>, who already faced multiple obstacles to start the night. Ahead of the clash, it was announced that Milwaukee would be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/is-bucks-damian-lillard-playing-in-game-4-after-major-injury-scare-vs-pacers">ruling out Damian Lillard</a> due to an Achilles injury. The Bucks entered the series without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. With Lillard out, the Wisconsin-based squad was without their two top scorers — and the Pacers took full advantage.</p><h2>The Pacers take a 3-1 series lead</h2><p>The game was close at first, but sooner or later, the absence of Lillard and Antetokounmpo would take its toll on the Bucks. In the third quarter, Tyrese Haliburton would shoot three triples to spark a run that would give the Pacers a double-digit lead. Indiana outscored Milwaukee in the said quarter, 31-21. As the final period ensued, the Pacers were up 98-85.</p><p>In the fourth, Indiana would continue to hold off their opponents until the final buzzer. Myles Turner led the team with 29 points on seven three-pointers made. The center shot an efficient 77.8% from deep and added nine rebounds to his name as well. Haliburton followed with 24 points on 50% shooting from the floor. All in all, six Pacers players finished with double-digit points, five of whom were starters.</p><p>The last time Indiana won a playoff series was in 2014, during the days of Paul George, Lance Stephenson and Roy Hibbert. That squad managed to win two rounds and reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Fast forward a decade later and this new generation of Indiana players is a game away from ending the drought. With Turner and Haliburton leading the way, the Pacers are making more noise than they’ve ever had in recent years.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The occasion marked a fitting conclusion for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-playoff-race-every-postseason-seeding-scenario-entering-frantic-final-day-of-regular-season">a Pacers regular season</a> that has defied expectations leaguewide, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-tyrese-haliburton-dealt-uncertain-injury-update-for-heat-clash">Haliburton blossoming into</a> an All-Star starter and Indiana making an all-in move to acquire Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors prior to the NBA trade deadline.</p><p>Of course, Indiana <a href="https://twitter.com/Pacers/status/1779612664672494028" rel="noopener">has long been known</a> as a basketball state and this will be the first season in quite some time that Pacers fans will be able to root on the home team in the NBA playoffs, so it should be no surprise that Myles Turner is anticipating a raucous environment in Indianapolis for Games 3 and 4, and potentially 6 of the series vs the Bucks.</p><p>“We need y’all man, believe in us, belief goes along way. Put that energy towards your Pacers and let’s keep rolling,” said Turner, per Bally Sports Indiana on X, the social media platform formerly referred to as Twitter.</p><p>“All we asked for was an opportunity, and now it’s our turn to make some noise,” Turner added, per the Pacers official team account on X.</p><p>Haliburton himself also reflected on what the opportunity to compete in the NBA playoffs for the first time in his career means to him.</p><p>“For me to be able to get that opportunity, I’m just really excited,” said Haliburton, per the Pacers on X.</p><p>Meanwhile, head coach Rick Carlisle knows that the hard work for the Pacers is just beginning.</p><p>“We’re happy to be in, but our work has just begun,” said Carlisle, per the Pacers on X. “That’s the way we’re going to look at this. Just getting to the playoffs is not the goal. The goal is a championship… We’ve got to have big aspirations and have high standards. That’s what we’re going to take into this.”</p><h2>An upstart season for the Pacers</h2><p>The Pacers were expected to perhaps secure a slot in the NBA play-in tournament heading into this year, as the team showed some flashes with Haliburton at the helm toward the end of last season but still figured to be firmly behind teams like the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference hierarchy. Instead, the Pacers finished higher in the standings than both of those teams, and will be taking on a Bucks team who they had a fun rivalry with during this past regular season.</p><p>Of course, the big question heading into this series will revolve around the health of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who recently suffered a calf strain and whose availability for the series is in some question. If Antetokounmpo is out of the lineup, it’s hard to envision the Bucks having enough firepower to compete with Indiana. However, if the Greek Freak is healthy and available, the Pacers are sure to be the betting underdogs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For the past several seasons, Turner has constantly heard his name in trade rumors but after signing an extension with the Pacers last season, he’s seemingly off the trade block. Even so, Myles Turner still <a href="https://hoopshype.com/rumor/myles-turner-still-has-ptsd-from-constant-trade-rumors/" rel="noopener">gets a little anxiety</a> when the trade deadline rolls around as per Sam Yip of Hoopshype.com.</p><p>“Honestly, I still got PTSD from that, so I really didn’t even feel super secure at that,” Turner said. “I was kinda expecting at least a rumor or something here and there, but I’m just very fortunate to be in the same position. A little bit. . .I guess you can say that. I think it was just more of that we had a more clear-cut idea of the direction we were going with so it made it easier for me.”</p><p>The extension that Myles Turner signed with the Pacers last season was for two years at $60 million. The Pacers have made it clear they want Turner to be part of their future core so he should be able to rest a little easier when the deadline comes around again.</p><p>This year, Turner has suited up 52 games at a little over 27 minutes per game. He’s been averaging 17.2 points per game, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 blocked shots with splits of 52.4 percent shooting from the field, 33.6 percent shooting from the three-point line and 78.3 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
