Pacers Lose Myles Turner, Seek Center Depth in 2025 NBA Offseason

News summary

The Indiana Pacers face significant challenges heading into the 2025-26 NBA season after losing key players Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton to injury and free agency, respectively. Turner, a defensive stalwart and leader, signed a four-year, $107 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, leaving the Pacers without a reliable center and prompting speculation that they may pursue Utah Jazz big man Walker Kessler to fill the void. The team's options at center are limited, with players like Tony Bradley and Isaiah Jackson, who is recovering from a torn Achilles, remaining on the roster. Meanwhile, the Pacers are exploring other strategies to bolster their roster, including potential trades to add scoring, such as targeting Chicago Bulls guard Coby White, although financial constraints may limit their willingness to retain key players long-term. On a different note, guard Keisei Tominaga has been signed for the Summer League as a potential value pickup, but he is unlikely to contribute significantly in the upcoming season. Additionally, former Pacers first-round pick Chris Duarte has left the NBA to sign with Unicaja Malaga in Spain, marking the end of his NBA tenure for now.
