Basketball

Pacers center Turner delivered a strong defensive performance in this playoffs. In the championship game against the Thunder, he sent two blocks in the first three quarters, officially reaching the milestone of accumulating 45 blocks in a single playoff game.

According to statistics, Turner is the second Eastern Conference player in the NBA to reach this record after Howard.

Turner's offensive feel was poor in this game. He made 1 of 9 shots in the game, scoring only 3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, but his contribution to the defensive end is still irreplaceable, and he sent 2 blocks in a single game.

This year's playoffs Turner averaged 29 minutes and made about 10 shots, averaged 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks. He shot 50% from the field, 35.7% from three-point shooting percentage, and 80% from free throw percentage. He made stable contributions on both offense and defense.

As the most experienced player in the Pacers, Turner has been involved in trading rumors in the past few seasons and did not renew his contract with the team until the mid-season of 2022-23. Now, he has also had the opportunity to win the championship trophy for the first time in his career.

Although the results of the championship game have not yet been finalized, Turner's contract situation has attracted attention again. He is about to become a full free agent in the offseason. It is expected that multiple teams will be inquired. Turner and the Pacers are interested in renewing their contracts again, and he has no intention of leaving this team that has played for 10 years.
