Overview
- Turner enters Milwaukee’s starting lineup as the primary secondary option behind Giannis after a decade with the Pacers, per latest preseason roster analysis.
- He signed a four-year, approximately $108.8 million contract with a player option in year four after the Bucks created room by stretching Damian Lillard’s deal.
- Last season he averaged 15.6 points and 6.5 rebounds while hitting a career-best 39.6% from three on about 5.5 attempts per game.
- He adds proven rim protection after leading the league in blocks twice, projecting into the interior role once held by Brook Lopez with more perimeter mobility.
- Comments about going “where you’re celebrated” have prompted criticism from Pacers supporters as Milwaukee prepares for its Oct. 22 season opener.
