NBA free agency is officially here. Players were legally allowed to begin negotiating with teams across the league as of Monday evening, which means there will be a flurry of activity this week. The most surprising news to date happened Tuesday morning as the Bucks signed big man Myles Turner to a four-year deal.

His reps let Indiana know his feelings with his two-year, $40.9 million deal expiring, per ESPN, but the Pacers had some reservations regarding the luxury tax, especially with star guard Tyrese Haliburton potentially missing the entire 2025-26 season after tearing his Achilles in Game 7.

Indiana chose the 29-year-old big man with the 11th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. He twice led the NBA in blocks.
