The Pacers surprised the entire basketball world with their deep run in the postseason, and they nearly finished it off with another upset. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get it done, and now Indiana has to find a way to get back. It starts with offseason decisions, and one of them involves Myles Turner.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/ranking-3-best-myles-turner-free-agency-destinations-if-he-leaves-pacers">Myles Turner is entering free agency</a> this offseason, so that will be a major aspect on the Pacers’ summer. The veteran center has been with the Pacers for his entire career, but he was a big part of this playoff run. Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle <a href="https://x.com/RomeovilleKid/status/1937487135109718237" rel="noopener">wants to re-sign</a> him.</p><p>“#Pacers HC Rick Carlisle said on @MorningShow1075 that re-signing C Myles Turner this offseason remains a priority,” James Boyd said in a post. “Of course, Carlisle noted that he wouldn’t get into contract numbers or anything like that but expressed complete faith in the front office.”</p><p>After an outstanding college basketball career at Texas, Turner was selected in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft by the Pacers. He has now spent 10 years with the team, and he has been an impact player throughout his professional career.</p><p>Turner has averaged double figures in terms of scoring during every season in his career. His best year was the 2022-23 season when he averaged over 18 points per game. He was terrific this season as well as he finished the year averaging 15.6 PPG, 6.5 rebounds per game and 1.5 assists per game. He is a player that the Pacers want back.</p><p>This offseason was already set to be an important one for the Pacers given the deep playoff run, and Myles Turner is a big part of it. However, everything has changed now that Tyrese Haliburton has a torn Achilles. He could very well miss all of next season, and that will obviously have a major impact on this team. Getting back to the NBA Finals without him will be difficult, so it will be interesting to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/3-best-trades-pacers-must-make-after-tyrese-haliburton-injury-nba-finals-loss">see what Indiana does this offseason to mitigate that loss</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If Turner doesn’t return to Indianapolis, then where could he end up?</p><h2><b>1. Myles Turner signs with the Lakers</b></h2><p>The Los Angeles Lakers have a well-documented need for a center. They’ve been rumored to be interested in Turner in the past, and now is the time to pursue him with everything they have.</p><p>LeBron James only has so much time left in the NBA, considering he has already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-longest-careers-history">played the most seasons in NBA history</a> (22).

While the trade for Luka Doncic was well worth it, it left the team with a glaring hole inside.</p><p>James and Doncic thrive with the ball in their hands and need players around them who can knock down jump shots and finish inside. Turner can do both of those as he is one of the best 3-point shooting centers in the NBA.</p><p>His defense is what would really help the Lakers, though. Turner has twice led the NBA in blocks, and he sent back 2.0 per game this past season.</p><h2><b>2. </b><b>Myles Turner goes to the Warriors via sign-and-trade</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/745694721-myles-turner-eastern-conference-finals.jpg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Golden State Warriors love their small ball, but fans have often wondered how well they could play with a great center on the roster. Turner is a 7-footer who’d be a clear upgrade over Quinton Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis. He has the 3-point marksmanship that a Stephen Curry/Steve Kerr-led team requires.</p><p>Turner is a career 36.2% shooter from deep. The Warriors would also be hard to score on with Turner teaming up with Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.</p><p>In order to land Turner, the team might have to do a sign-and-trade deal involving Jonathan Kuminga. The former lottery pick has gone back and forth between flashing greatness and being out of Kerr’s rotation during his time in Golden State. The odds are against <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-rumors-jonathan-kuminga-golden-state-nba-free-agency">Kuminga returning to the Warriors</a> next season, so they might as well use him to land someone of Turner’s caliber.</p><h2><b>3. </b><b>Myles Turner signs with the Bulls</b></h2><p>The Chicago Bulls love the long ball. They <a href="https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/three-pointers-attempted-per-game" rel="noopener">ranked second</a> in the NBA with 42 three-point attempts per game last season. Nikola Vucevic, a shooting big man, likely won’t play in Chicago much longer. Not only will Vucevic be 35 years old next season, but he only has one more year left on his contract.</p><p>He might not even finish out his contract, either, as the Bulls underwent somewhat of a rebuild last year, evidenced by their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-trade-grade-for-zach-lavine-blockbuster">trade of Zach LaVine</a>. Turner would be the perfect replacement for Vucevic, and he’d allow the team to maintain their favorite style of play once the incumbent at center leaves the team.</p><p>The Bulls have the fourth most projected cap space for next season, so they can afford to pay Turner. The big man will likely demand a lofty contract in the offseason, but he’d be a worthwhile addition for any team that can afford him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In a crushing loss for more reasons than one, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/thunder-star-jalen-williams-wholesome-gesture-after-nba-finals-win">Oklahoma City Thunder took Game 7 of the NBA Finals</a> 103-91 and lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy in front of their home fans.</p><p>Big man Myles Turner has been a staple of this Pacers organization for a decade now, and he would have loved nothing more than to bring a title to Indiana. After the loss, he reflected on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6444534/2025/06/23/tyrese-haliburton-injury-pacers-future-nba-finals/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">what he is going to miss most</a> about this team and its run to the NBA Finals, via The Athletic.</p><p>“It was special,” Turner said. “Just everything we’ve been through to get to this point, everything that went into it … a journey at that. We talk about the process a lot, not necessarily the end goal, but the process. I’m going to miss the process of this group.”</p><p>There is a good chance that Turner will not be in Indiana next season, as the Texas product will be a free agent in just a few weeks. He certainly earned himself a raise over the last two months during the postseason with lights-out shooting and great rim protection during the first three rounds of the playoffs.</p><p>However, it will be interesting to see what number the Pacers are willing to play Turner. The 10-year veteran did not play his best in the NBA Finals and was constantly overwhelmed guarding on the perimeter and dealing with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/thunder-news-isaiah-hartenstein-son-fast-asleep-nba-finals-podium">physicality of the Thunder inside</a>. His shooting touch evaporated as well, leading to some pretty ugly performances.</p><p>No matter what happens with Turner this summer, he will be remembered as a Pacers legend for the rest of his career. He has constantly been in trade rumors for the majority of his career, but he and the Pacers have stayed together the entire time.</p><p>Over the last two years, that patience from both sides was rewarded with runs to the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals. However, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/pacers-tyrese-haliburton-achilles-injury-confirmed-father">Tyrese Haliburton’s injury casting a dark cloud</a> over the 2025-26 season, the Pacers have some very difficult decisions to make this offseason starting with Turner.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The longest tenured player on the team, Turner has had his name thrown in trade rumors almost every season before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-myles-turner-reacts-to-60-million-indiana-extension-that-ended-trade-rumors">signing a contract extension</a> back during the 2022-23 season. Myles Turner certainly has been a major part of this Pacers run in the playoffs, especially on the defensive end in terms of blocks.</p><p>With two blocks through three quarters against the Thunder in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Myles Turner became only the second Eastern Conference player since Dwight Howard to <a href="https://x.com/statmuse/status/1935882440179876152">record more than</a> 45 blocked shots during a playoff run, as per StatMuse.</p><p>In addition to his two blocked shots, Turner also had three points, four rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes. He was not shooting particularly well as of publication, only going 1-of-9 from the field, but he was still making an impact on the defensive end of the court.</p><p>If the Pacers ultimately want to beat the Thunder and win an NBA championship, they’ll need continued strong play from their veteran center. During this postseason run, Turner has been playing a little over 29 minutes per game while taking around ten shots attempts.</p><p>In 21 games, he has been averaging 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.1 blocked shots with splits of 50 percent shooting from the field, 35.7 percent shooting from the three-point line and 80 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>In a funny twist of fate, Turner’s future with the Pacers, regardless of the outcome of the NBA Finals, was somewhat in question again as he is set to hit unrestricted free agency in the offseason, But while a player of his caliber will no doubt draw interest from opposing teams, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-rumors-myles-turner-close-to-contract-extension-amid-nba-finals-run">Turner and the Pacers are reportedly set for a contract extension</a>, and he isn’t expected to leave the only franchise he’s ever known.</p><p>The No. 11 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Turner has played all ten of his NBA seasons with the Pacers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With Tyrese Haliburton’s status still uncertain and the Finals hanging in the balance, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-best-plan-upset-thunder-if-tyrese-haliburton-doesnt-play-in-game-6">the Pacers are focused on being ready</a>, no matter who’s available.

His words reinforced his role as a vocal leader for the Eastern Conference champions—conveying preparedness, accountability, and confidence in the team’s depth. It was a clear reflection of Indiana’s next-man-up mentality as they brace for a potential win-or-go-home Game 6 on the NBA’s biggest stage—possibly without Haliburton, the superstar whose leadership and clutch shooting has helped guide them to this point.</p><p>Readiness is crucial with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-game-6-x-factor-vs-thunder-not-tyrese-haliburton">Haliburton’s status for Game 6 still in question</a>. He played through a right calf strain in Game 5, struggling to find his rhythm while going 0-for-6 from the field, though he contributed four free throws, six assists, and seven rebounds. His limitations reflect a broader injury concern that now looms large over the Pacers as they head into a must-win scenario.</p><p>In light of that, the Pacers’ Game 6 strategy will hinge on both Haliburton’s availability and Indiana’s ability to adapt if his injury continues to limit him. Even without his perimeter scoring, Indiana can rely on Turner’s 2.1 blocks per game and his expanded shooting range—he’s hit timely three-pointers that reflect the team’s evolving postseason identity. His production underscores that the Pacers have enough depth and versatility to withstand a dip in Haliburton’s output.</p><p>Despite their star guard’s uncertain status, the Pacers continue to ride momentum and showcase their depth throughout this playoff run. Key contributors like Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin are ready to elevate their roles, while Turner’s veteran leadership remains a stabilizing force in the paint.</p><p>Haliburton’s uncertain status casts a shadow over the eve of Game 6, but Turner’s “prepare either way” mindset signals quiet confidence that Indiana can compete regardless. The Pacers’ approach is clear, focus on what they can control and lean into their next-man-up identity.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

What was once a 2-1 series lead for Indiana has become a 3-2 deficit for Tyrese Haliburton and company, with Oklahoma roaring back with back-to-back victories following a Game 3 loss.</p><p>The immediate challenge for the Pacers is clear, and it’s to withstand whatever onslaught Oklahoma City will bring in Game 6 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday and force a winner-take-all Game 7 scenario. That means Indiana will need all hands on deck going forward, though, there appears to be a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-tyrese-haliburton-opens-up-about-playing-through-injury-for-game-6">possibility that the Pacers’ best player will not be at his 100 percent</a> in Game 6 — or perhaps be even absent.</p><p>Haliburton, who struggled with his shot in Game 5, was seemingly not at his best on Wednesday due to what was initially thought of as a leg problem but later turned out to be an ankle issue. He was seen walking with a limp following a postgame press conference, causing concern among Pacers fans about his availability for Game 6.</p><p>Indiana big man Myles Turner, however, <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1934983629106528471" rel="noopener">doesn’t seem to be as worried</a> about his teammate’s status for the next game.</p><p>“It’s Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

The 29-year-old center admitted that he doesn’t necessarily feel that pressure, and that both teams have to perform no matter the circumstances.</p><p>“I don’t like to look at it that way. We’re both dealing with pressure. We both have to go out there and perform, so just a matter of going out there and making the most of the moment.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“I don't like to look at it that way.

Many had the Thunder running away with the series, but Indiana has seemingly remained in the mix.</p><p>Myles Turner not focusing on the home court advantage that the Thunder ultimately have makes sense. If he and the Pacers were concerned about it, then the team’s mindset likely wouldn’t be where it needs to be in the NBA Finals. Instead, he seems poised and ready to play in Game 5 in Oklahoma City.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-myles-turner-embarrasses-chet-holmgren-with-crucial-game-3-block">Myles Turner has played well</a> through the playoffs and seems to be a nice matchup against the Thunder frontcourt. Through 20 games played so far this postseason, the 6-foot-11 center is averaging 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game while shooting 49.8% from the floor and 35.4% from beyond the arc.</p><p>The Pacers will hope that kind of production from Myles Turner continues in Game 5. If the team can steal a win on Monday night, then they will own a 3-2 advantage with Game 6 going back to Indiana. That’s a massive advantage for an organization fighting to win its first-ever NBA championship.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, new reports indicate otherwise, as Indiana aims to go up 3-1 in the NBA Finals.</p><p>Head coach Rick Carlisle revealed that Turner, who is 29 years old, <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1933658212542115904" rel="noopener">will play in Game 4</a> for the Pacers despite battling an illness leading up to the contest, according to insider Brett Siegel. he should provide Indiana with the presence they need in the frontcourt to go up against Chet Holmgren.</p><p>“Rick Carlisle says Myles Turner ‘seems to be better.’ He will be available for Game 4 tonight.”</p><p>It’s not clear how big a role Turner will have in this one.

He’s taken it easy, though, and Carlisle is confident that Myles Turner can play in Game 4. There’s a possibility he comes off the bench in this one, as respiratory problems can affect an individual’s breathing.</p><p>Turner is a hot commodity as of late. Even though he’s participating in the NBA Finals right now, rumors are already spreading that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-insider-reveals-myles-turner-free-agency-destinations">the Pacers’ center could be available in the free agent market</a> this offseason.

Indiana drafted the 29-year-old in 2015 and he has been with the team ever since. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-hawks-pistons-myles-turner-free-agency-suitor">trade rumors have followed Turner around</a> for his entire career. He has delivered this season, helping to fuel Indiana’s run to the NBA Finals. NBA Inside Jake Fischer offered his thoughts, throwing out teams like the Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks as potential landing spots.</p><p>If Indiana does not re-sign Turner, he will be one of the biggest names on the open market with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-rumors-lebron-james-expected-plan-2025-free-agency">LeBron James likely to stay in Los Angeles</a>. The Pacers signed him to a two-year deal worth almost $41 million in 2023 that expires once the Finals end. He will be an unrestricted free agent, looking to make the most of the most successful season of his career.</p><p>Fischer threw out some teams that could <a href="https://youtu.be/w0KsOM-Zhn4?t=714" rel="noopener">be in the running</a> for Turner. The Pistons, for example, have enough cap space to offer him a deal worth more than what Indiana could offer.</p><p>“Detroit one of those teams with space is looming on the periphery according to our conversations with people around the league to potentially make an effort at prying Myles Turner from the Indiana Pacers,” Fischer. “And we wrote today at the Stein Line that Atlanta is also a team to consider for Myles Turner. The Hawks are a very interesting team being that they don’t have the cap space that Detroit and Brooklyn does but they’ve got a $25 million traded player exception as a vestige from moving Dejounte Murray to New Orleans basically almost a year ago.”</p><p>Both James and All-Star point guard James Harden expect to stay were they are this offseason. As a result, teams like the Pistons and Hawks will pursue the next-best option on the market. Turner has not addressed the rumors, his focus on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-myles-turner-embarrasses-chet-holmgren-with-crucial-game-3-block">helping Indiana win their first championship in franchise history</a>.</p><p>While the talk around Turner is loud, history shows that nothing will come of it. The Pacers value him and the team will do their best to retain him this summer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s not certain how much the illness is affecting Turner, but it looks like he’s doing his best to contribute as the Pacers are two wins away from winning their first NBA championship in franchise history.</p><p>It’ll be interesting to see how Turner performs in Game 4, and if Carlisle will be cautious with him throughout the period.</p><h2><b>Pacers looking to extend series lead in Game 4</b></h2><p>The Pacers have a chance to extend their series lead in Game 4, and it may take the same effort they had in Game 3 to get it done. The game was back and forth for the most part, but what helped the Pacers was the play of their bench. T.J. McConnell came in and set the tone for the team, and Bennedict Mathurin could not be stopped. In the fourth quarter, the tides changed, and the Pacers were too much to handle late in the game.</p><p>Tyrese Haliburton also had a nice game for the Pacers, as he came out of the gates aggressively looking for his own shot while getting his teammates involved. The Pacers have gotten this far with ball movement and making the right play, and that’s what the formula will have to be if they want to win this series.</p><p>For the Thunder, they’re going to have to make the necessary adjustments to try and steal a game on the road.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They outlasted the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-107 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday night.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-bennedict-mathurin-gets-eye-opening-take-from-thunder-coach">Bennedict Mathurin emerged as the breakout star</a> of the night, scoring 27 points to lead all players in Game 3. Coming off the bench, he delivered a sensational performance that <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1933012845953794125" rel="noopener">drew praise from teammates</a> Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner. Mathurin’s poise and firepower under pressure stood out.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Myles Turner: "[Bennedict Mathurin] boy, he's been waiting for this moment."</p><p>Tyrese Haliburton: "[Mathurin is] amazing man, he made big play after big play." 🙌</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NBA</a>)<a href="https://t.co/t5mJi7tgin">pic.twitter.com/t5mJi7tgin</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1933012845953794125?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 12, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Mathurin outscored every Pacers starter, pouring in his 27 points on a blistering 9-of-12 shooting. He went 2-of-3 from beyond the arc and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line. In addition, he tallied four rebounds, an assist, a block, and a steal. Notably, he accounted for more than half of Indiana’s 49 bench points.</p><p>Moreover, ten of those points came in the fourth quarter, including clutch free throws that helped close out the game. In what became a tight, momentum-driven battle, his composure helped steady the Pacers. Indiana has now outscored the Thunder 100-73 in fourth quarters throughout the series, and this consistent late-game dominance proved vital once again.</p><p>Another <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-tj-mcconnell-nba-finals-history-game-3-thunder-win">key contributor was T.J. McConnell</a>. The veteran guard lit up the home crowd with 10 points, five assists, and five steals in just 15 minutes of action. Together, Mathurin and McConnell combined for 37 points, surpassing the entire Thunder bench.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-haliburton-finals-comment-fans-feel-old">Tyrese Haliburton also delivered a well-rounded performance</a>, finishing with 22 points, 11 assists, and nine rebounds—just one board shy of a triple-double. Meanwhile, although Myles Turner struggled with only nine points, his critical block on Chet Holmgren proved to be a turning point late in the game.</p><p>On the other side, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/thunder-news-mark-daigneault-sounds-off-inexcusable-mistakes-vs-tj-mcconnell">Oklahoma City faltered under pressure.</a> The Thunder committed 19 turnovers, which proved costly. The Pacers’ suffocating defense disrupted their rhythm, limiting them to 37-of-79 shooting. Remarkably, Mathurin even outscored every Thunder starter, underscoring the depth and efficiency of Indiana’s bench.</p><p>Now, with Game 4 on their home floor, the Pacers stand on the brink of something historic. Thanks to the fearless brilliance of Bennedict Mathurin and the relentless spark provided by T.J. McConnell, Indiana’s bench has completely shifted the momentum of the NBA Finals.</p><p>As a result, the pressure now bears down heavily on the Thunder. Can Oklahoma City regroup and respond, or are we, at last, witnessing the rise of a Pacers team destined to bring an NBA title to Indiana for the first time in its history?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Pacers’ first home Finals game in 25 years did not disappoint as this back-and-forth battle was entertaining all night long, and the home crowd got to celebrate a victory.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle noted after the game that Turner is <a href="https://x.com/KBowen1070/status/1933006087919190383" rel="noopener">battling an illness</a> and might not be able to be with the team on Thursday.</p><p>“May not be with us tomorrow…we will see where he’s at tomorrow,” Rick Carlisle said after the game, according to a post from Kevin Bowen.</p><p>It sounds like Turner’s status for Game 4 on Friday is up in the air as well.

We all know the history of 3-1 leads in the NBA Finals as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are the only team to ever erase that deficit. They did it back in 2016.</p><p>If the Pacers find a way to win Game 4, they are going to be in fantastic shape. However, not having Myles Turner would certainly make it difficult to get a win.</p><p>There is just one rest day after Game 3 as both teams will get together again on Friday night for Game 4. The Pacers and Thunder will tip off at 8:30 ET from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, and the game will be airing on ABC.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He ended up with just nine points on 3-11 shooting; this is the sort of shooting inefficiency that usually spells doom against a team as defensively resolute as the Oklahoma City Thunder. Turner, however, more than made up for it on the defensive end, coming up huge with one defensive stop after another in Indiana’s 116-107 Game 3 win.</p><p>Turner, in particular, got the upper hand over Chet Holmgren in the fourth quarter. On one offensive possession, he backed down the Thunder center and pushed him out of the way (legally) en route to an easy two points. But it was on <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1932998912270610900" rel="noopener">the defensive end</a> that Turner truly made his mark against Holmgren.</p><p>The longtime Pacers center, with a little over two minutes left in the game, put the clamps on Holmgren, swallowing whole a three-point attempt and then swatting a shot from the paint out of bounds off of the Thunder center to give Indiana back the basketball.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Myles Turner put the CLAMPS on Chet Holmgren🔒<a href="https://t.co/U5TXLVWEl2">pic.twitter.com/U5TXLVWEl2</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1932998912270610900?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 12, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Turner’s foot speed isn’t the best, which is why the Pacers opt to utilize a frontcourt pairing of Obi Toppin and Pascal Siakam to keep up with the small-ball Thunder unit. But as the Pacers have shown time and time again in this year’s playoffs, they come up huge when it matters the most. Turner is one of the best shot-blockers in the NBA, and he proved as much when he <a href="https://x.com/statmuse/status/1933000237443846445" rel="noopener">rejected more shots</a> (five) than the entire Thunder squad did (four) in Game 3, as per StatMuse.</p><p>The lifetime Pacers starting center is inching ever so closely to the ultimate goal of winning a championship, and he showed late in Game 3 that he’s locked into the goal — poor shooting night notwithstanding.</p><h2><b>Myles Turner, Pacers deliver team effort in Game 3 victory</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Myles-Turner-on-June-8-2025.jpg"><figcaption>Kyle Terada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It was an incredible fourth-quarter effort that gave the Pacers a 116-107 victory in the end against the Thunder in Game 3. Turner did his part by being a defensive menace late in the game, but it was a total team effort that got them to victory lane.</p><p>Bennedict Mathurin and TJ McConnell deserve so much credit for holding the fort for the Pacers to start the fourth. Tyrese Haliburton did his thing and finished the job thanks to some big shots, while the likes of Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, and Siakam ended up being reliable hands as always.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
