Turner Thankful for Father's Recovery, Ready to Get Back to Work

Myles Turner once was among those NBA players openly hesitant to resume the season. Your outlook tends to change when you witness something rather than just read about it.

Turner's father, David, contracted the COVID-19 virus and was quarantined in a bedroom in the family home in Dallas for about 10 days. He's doing well now according to Myles, but the episode had an obvious impact on his feelings toward going back to basketball when the number of cases of infected people continues to rise.

Turner moved back into his parents' house when he returned to Texas after the season was put on hold.
