A Decade of Dedication: Celebrating 10 Years of Myles Turner in Blue & Gold 🔥

 

INDIANAPOLIS — Today marks a monumental milestone for the Indiana Pacers and one of their most loyal and impactful players — Myles Turner. Exactly 10 years ago, on June 25, 2015, the Pacers selected the 6-foot-11 center with the 11th overall pick in the NBA Draft. A decade later, Turner remains a cornerstone of the franchise, both on and off the court.

 

From the moment he donned the Blue & Gold, Turner has embodied consistency, growth, and leadership. Known for his elite shot-blocking, floor-spacing, and unwavering commitment to the team, Turner has become the franchise’s all-time leader in blocked shots and one of the NBA’s premier defensive anchors. His unique ability to protect the rim while knocking down three-pointers has redefined the modern center role.

 

Beyond the stat sheet, Turner’s influence stretches far into the Indianapolis community. His outreach work, leadership in the locker room, and dedication to youth development have made him a beloved figure in Indiana. He’s not just a player — he’s a pillar of the franchise’s identity.

 

Throughout his 10 seasons, Turner has weathered roster changes, coaching transitions, and playoff battles, always remaining a steady force. His loyalty, especially in an era defined by constant player movement, is a testament to his character and belief in the Pacers’ vision.

 

“Myles has been a true professional since Day One,” said Pacers President Kevin Pritchard. “His dedication to the game, the team, and the city of Indianapolis is something truly special.”

 

As the Pacers continue to build toward championship contention, Myles Turner remains at the heart of it all — a symbol of perseverance, passion, and pride.

 

Here’s to a decade of dominance, and to the chapters still to be written in Blue & Gold.
