Myles Turner has carved himself out a respectable start to his NBA career. He’s a solid and dependable big man for the Pacers, with a hard hat and lunch pail reputation. Two finishes as the league’s blocks leader (2019 and 2021) speak to how much of a talented throwback he is. Turner isn’t exactly known for being cool and flashy with a tunnel outfit.
And yet, Friday night saw the big man flash a little taste of his style before Indiana’s game with the Pistons. I don’t really know what it is, but it sure seems like it might have been in reference to, or somewhat influenced by Kyle Kuzma’s long sleeves earlier this season.
NBA Twitter could not get more ruthless about it with Turner.
