Turner Showing Maturity as Adulthood Nears

Myles Turner turns 21 on Friday, when the Pacers play Denver at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. If he wants, he can go out after the game and order an alcoholic beverage.

Adulthood comes in many forms, however. For Turner, lately, that's meant sacrificing scoring opportunities without complaint and looking for other ways to contribute.

Whereas scoring in double figures was a safe assumption earlier in the season, Turner has done so in just three of the last 10 games. He's averaged just 8.7 points in that stretch, hitting just 40 percent of his field goal attempts and 1-of-9 3-pointers.
