The Indiana Pacers went from taking the eventual champion to Game 7 of the NBA Finals to having an offseason fans want to forget. Shortly before their summer officially began after losing to the Thunder, Tyrese Haliburton ruptured his Achilles. That drastically altered the Pacers' outlook, but still, nobody thought they'd lose Myles Turner.
Kevin Pritchard, president of basketball operations, didn't think so, either. He said he learned that Turner accepted Milwaukee's offer on social media when ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania broke the news (subscription required). Losing the longest-tenured Pacer for nothing was hard enough, but the fact Turner signed with the Bucks made it even worse.
