Indiana Pacers Rumors: Pacers could trade TJ McConnell or Aaron Holiday, update on the future of Myles Turner and more

#2 Pacers are 'turning away' teams interested in trading for Myles Turner

The Indiana Pacers want to see how Myles Turner performs alongside the returning Victor Oladipo

Due to the growing importance of Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner's future with the Pacers has been the subject of much speculation. After being selected 11th overall in the 2015 NBA draft, Turner was widely viewed as the future of the franchise, although his impact while playing alongside Sabonis has been mixed - and reports have suggested that the Pacers could sanction a trade to upgrade other areas of the roster.

Nevertheless, while Turner is attracting interest from NBA teams looking to sign a center, ESPN's Zach Lowe is reporting that the Pacers have no immediate plans to trade the 23-year-old:

"The Pacers continue to turn away teams who inquire about Myles Turner, sources say. They are good, and they want to see how things look when Victor Oladipo returns. But every team in need of a big man should keep an eye on Turner."

Turner has played 38 times for the Pacers so far this season, averaging 12.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per contest. He signed a four-year, $72 million contract extension back in October 2018.
