Myles Turner Considered Likely To Re-Sign With PacersMyles Turner Considered Likely To Re-Sign With Pacers

Myles Turner will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but rival teams expect him to re-sign with the Indiana Pacers. For a player who has been in the NBA 10 years and only played for one franchise, Turner has appeared in an inordinate number of trade rumors during his career.

The Pacers lack depth at center behind Turner and would be unable to functionally replace him in free agency.

Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 30.2 minutes over 72 games this season. Turner also shot 39.6 percent on 5.5 three-point attempts per game.
