Pacers Rumors: NBA Insider Reveals Indiana Could Be Willing to Trade Myles Turner
The Indiana Pacers have been one of the best teams across the NBA of late, putting themselves right back into contention within the Eastern Conference standings. After a slow start to the year, Indiana has finally looked like the team that reached the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago.
As we approach the upcoming trade deadline, the Pacers are primed to make a massive addition to their roster. Indiana wants to push itself forward even more and a big trade could help that fact.
However, the front office also needs to think about the future of the franchise and they have one big question hanging over them. That would be the future of center Myles Turner, who can become a free agent at the end of the season.
Due to this, there has been some speculation about what the team should do with Turner. Indiana would love to retain him this summer but once he hits free agency, there is no guarantee that a return will happen.
And now we have some reporting that Turner could be available for a trade.
NBA insider Jovan Buha of The Athletic has reported that he has heard some chatter regarding the chance of Indiana moving Turner. Buha addressed this during a segment on his YouTube channel.
If the Pacers were to trade Turner, it would leave a sizable hole in the rotation but it would help ensure that he doesn’t leave for nothing. Turner has been a cornerstone for this Pacers team since he came up and losing him would hurt them for the remainder of the season.
But long-term, moving Turner could be in the best interest of this franchise. Opposing teams will likely go hard after Turner on the open market and oftentimes, money talks during free agency.
This reporting from Buha also comes after news that Indiana could be reluctant to pay Turner what it may take this offseason. So the timing is certainly interesting but when there is smoke, there is often fire.

It remains to be seen if the Pacers will move Turner before the trade deadline or if they will try to go for it this season. If they can get back a strong return, it would help ease moving Turner, if the front office goes that route.

Man shot by security guard in hospital emergency room waiting area in Gary, Indiana
A man’s family is demanding answers after he was shot by a security guard inside a hospital emergency room waiting area on Tuesday night in Gary, Indiana.
Methodist Northlake Hospital officials said, around midnight Tuesday night, its security staff responded quickly after a patient took out a gun. The hospital said he’d threatened to shoot himself or others.
The hospital commended the security guard who shot the man for “neutralizing the threat and helping ensure the safety of our patients and employees.”
Family members identified the man who was shot as Otis Brown. They said he is a kind father to a 12-year-old boy.
“Just a great person, a happy-go-lucky, always out there trying to do the right thing,” said his fiancée, Stacey Taylor.
Taylor said she was on a business trip when she got a call that Brown had been shot multiple times.
“Scared, uncertainty; you know, what story is right? You know, what happened?” she said.
After he was shot, Brown was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.
Taylor said she had no idea why Brown went to Methodist Northlake Hospital in the first place. His family said he was trying to leave the hospital when the shooting happened, claiming that the hospital gave him his gun back after he was cleared to leave.
“We just want to get answers, just want to know what happened, particularly when people are defaming his name,” Taylor said.
She and Brown’s family hope the hospital has surveillance video footage that can help provide answers.
Gary police have not provided any details on the shooting. The Lake County Sheriff’s Department said it is investigating the shooting at the request of Gary police, but did not provide any further information.
