Myles Turner: No Regrets Leaving Pacers for Bucks

Myles Turner says he has no regrets about leaving the Pacers after 10 seasons to sign a four-year, $107 million deal with the Bucks, calling it a "business decision" and noting "Indiana made it very clear how they valued me." The move matters because Milwaukee gains an elite rim protector and floor-spacing big, while Indiana loses a long-tenured defensive anchor — and the teams meet Monday, turning emotion into immediate matchup stakes. Merlin senses a clear ripple: Turner will want to justify the payday and the Bucks will lean on his deterrence around Giannis, while the Pacers must show depth or risk that the departure becomes a hole rather than motivation. This is as much about respect as analytics — and the early returns will shape the season’s storyline.
