The Indiana Pacers have an issue with Myles Turner's impending free agency. He's a free agent for the first time in his career. This trade proposal would see him sent to the Western Conference while the Pacers solve their long-term problem at that spot.
Just a few games into the season, the Pacers lost both backup centers to a torn Achilles. Soon after, they lost Andrew Nembhard to a knee issue that cost him close to a month. Aaron Nesmith then suffered a severe ankle sprain that cost him 35 games of the season. He just recently returned and has slowly been brought back.
Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a thoracic spine sprain.

Last year, in front of their hometown fans, the Indiana Pacers won the Skills Challenge. A trio of Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, and Myles Turner beat the first-overall picks (Paolo Banchero, VIctor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards ), and a case of young All-Stars ( Trae Young, Scottie Barnes, Tyrese Maxey).
Although the match played close, the Pacers beat the Pistons 115-109. Such a close score typically indicates that the Pacers underperformed against a lowly team. However, the Pistons are having a renaissance season,
Jovan Buha: I've heard Turner is about to be an unrestricted free agent and he's going to want 30-plus million and I've heard Indiana is not sure if they want to give him 30-plus million. So if they don't then from an asset-management perspective it makes sense to trade him and get something back for him. -via YouTube / January 26, 2025
The NBA had a heck of a battle for their TV rights. They have been with ESPN/ABC for a couple of decades now, and that will continue. They had also been with Turner for a couple of decades, but that will no longer continue.
The Los Angeles Lakers are fifth in the Western Conference, but if they go after a reported trade target, they could have more than enough size to tackle the Denver Nuggets.
Hall of Famer Reggie Miller will join NBC Sports as its top color commentator when the NBA returns to the network later this year, Front Office Sports reported Wednesday. Miller reportedly will call the games alongside play-by-play broadcasters Mike Tirico and Noah Eagle, starting with the 2025-26 season.
Two-time All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell opted to reunite with Clark by re-upping with the franchise that drafted her No. 2 overall in 2018.
