Myles Turner found himself on the biggest stage of his basketball career to date this summer, helping the Indiana Pacers to just their second Eastern Conference championship since making the leap from the ABA in 1970.
But with Rick Carlisle's team suddenly facing an uncertain future following franchise star Tyrese Haliburton's devastating Achilles injury in the NBA Finals, the free agency decision staring down Turner ahead of 2025-26 arrived with massively higher stakes than previously assumed.
On July 1, Turner officially pulled the trigger and committed to a fresh start in a new home. As first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania, the former Texas Longhorn bruiser is headed to Deer Country on a dazzling nine-figure deal.
Let's take a glance at the finer details of the Milwaukee Bucks' Myles Turner contract.

His Pacers went 50-32, good for the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, and mounted their deepest playoff run in 25 years before falling agonizingly short of championship glory in seven games against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
