On Saturday afternoon, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Myles Turner had signed a two-year contract extension worth around $60 million. The surprise news ended months of speculation about Turner’s future with the team. Both sides have said they were communicating on working out a deal and we now know they were on the same page getting this deal done before the Feb. 9 trade deadline.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania broke down the details of the deal which included a rare salary boost ($17.1) for the current season which allowed for the Pacers to sign Turner through the 2024-25 season with a decreasing hit on the salary cap in the second year.
