Among the more surprising moves of this NBA offseason was former Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner's defection to the division rival Milwaukee Bucks, finalized on Sunday. The move ended a 10-year association between Turner and the Pacers; he had been one of the longest-tenured players with one team in the NBA.
Accordingly, Turner issued a lengthy statement Thursday night thanking Indiana for his years with the team—going out of his way to shout out several local businesses in Indianapolis he frequented.
