Turner is hopeful that the NBA can resume at some point this season. The Pacers were well on their way to their fifth straight playoff appearance, a streak that started Turner’s rookie season. Indiana has not advanced past the first round over that span, but Turner said he was “optimistic” that this team was equipped to make a deep run. “I most definitely want to play,” Turner said. “That’s just the competitor in me and I think we started to get some good leverage towards the end of the season.”
