Myles Turner: His maturity level has been what’s been the most impressive, along with his confidence. A lot of younger players and rookies come into the league, and it takes them a second to get their bearings right. Since the first day of playing with him in pickup games in the summertime, I knew he was going to be ready. I think he’s already great at getting downhill and a great scorer. As he learns the dynamics of the league, he’s going to be an All-Star-level talent.

I don’t blame Myles Turner at all for being honest. He’s been available via trade for a long time now. No issues with him taking some agency and sharing what he thinks.
But what a weird and awkward situation to have a player basically saying “Yeah that team should trade for me!” – 10:02 AM

A huge Pacers win — and while on a back-to-back — 125-116 in Brooklyn.
Without Turner, Nesmith, TJM.
Hit a franchise-record 23 3s on 46 attempts. 3️⃣2️⃣pts from rookie Bennedict Mathurin … plus 26-6-8 from Haliburton and 17-9-8 for Hield.
Up next: Monday at Nets (Pt. 2) – 9:56 PM

More on this storyline
Myles Turner: I’m excited about what we have here in Indiana. I understand that some of the things I might’ve said in that podcast could’ve gotten misconstrued answering hypothetical questions. This isn’t a hypothetical. I’m here in Indiana. I’ve got real estate in Indiana. I’ve got a fan section in our own arena. I’m a Pacer. I’ve been a Pacer my entire career. I can’t tell the future, but where I’m at right now, I’m very happy. -via HoopsHype / November 1, 2022
Myles Turner: Goal number one is staying healthy. The past two seasons, I’ve had unfortunate injuries that were freak of nature. The best ability is availability. Second, I want to get back to that defensive prowess out there. I still have All-Star level talent, and I want to be able to put it on display to make those All-Star teams. I think I’m in a great position to do so. I think this will probably be the year that I break out. Defensively, I want to make that first All-Defensive Team. That’s something I want to do on an individual level and get my name back in that conversation and stay up there with the elites in this league. -via HoopsHype / November 1, 2022
Myles Turner: I think Tyrese is someone who’s going to create his own lane. He’s a big point guard. Making the plays he makes at his height and stature is rare, in my opinion. I think when it’s all said and done, he’s going to be someone in his own lane. When I said he’s comparable to Chris Paul, it’s the way he gets guys open and could lead the league in assists. I think he’s going to be his own Tyrese Haliburton, and people are going to be trying to compare themselves to him when it’s all said and done. -via HoopsHype / November 1, 2022
Justin Kubatko: Bennedict Mathurin’s first three games: ✅ 19 PTS ✅ 26 PTS ✅ 27 PTS The last player to score at least 72 points through his first three career games is Jerry Stackhouse (1995-96, 76). Mathurin tied the NBA record for most 3P made by a player in his first three games (11). pic.twitter.com/3HFsWZeKep -via Twitter @jkubatko / October 23, 2022

Pacers rookie guard Bennedict Mathurin made a memorable NBA debut on Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Two of his biggest fans — his mother, Elvie, and his sister, Jenn were among the 15,000 in attendance for that game. But little did Mathurin know that they had a special surprise lined up for him. Earlier on Wednesday, the two women snuck into the team kitchen to prepare a home-cooked Haitian meal for the 20-year-old. -via NBA.com / October 22, 2022
