Myles Turner: “The 317 Will Always Be Home”
INDIANAPOLIS–Myles Turner issued his final good bye to Indianapolis Thursday night. Turner agreed to a four-year, $107 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks on July 1 after spending 10 years with the Indiana Pacers.
“It’s hard to put into words what the past 10 seasons and past 10 years of my life has meant to me,” Turner wrote in an Instagram post. “From a teenager out of Bedford, Texas to the MAN and player I am today, Indy has been home through it all. You watched me grow up — on and off the court.”
Turner was drafted by Indiana with the 11th pick of the 2015 NBA draft. He averaged 14.1 points and 6.8 rebounds in his decade with the Pacers.
“To Pacers fans–it’s been an absolute privilege to play at Bankers Life/Gainbridge Fieldhouse…you’ve been loyal through it all. You packed the Fieldhouse, rocked with us on the road, lifted me when I needed it most, and held me accountable when I needed that too. Man…I’ve damn near spent more time with y’all than I’ve gotten to spend with my own family over the years. That’s real love and I can’t thank you enough for embracing me from day one,” the post continued.
Turner said the “317 will always be home.”
In 2025, the Pacers reached the NBA Finals for the first time in Turner’s tenure, losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games, with Turner averaging 14 points in the 2025 postseason.
