Myles Turner is an American professional basketball player currently with the Milwaukee Bucks of the NBA. Standing 6 feet 11 inches tall, he plays as a center and is a two-time league leader in blocks. Turner was selected 11th overall by the Indiana Pacers in the 2015 NBA draft and spent his first ten professional seasons with the franchise, a period during which he reached the NBA Finals in 2025.
His career is notable for his longevity with a single franchise and his established reputation as one of the league's premier defensive players. His shot-blocking ability has been a consistent and impactful part of his game throughout his time in the league, making him a significant presence on the court.
Recently, Turner has been in the news for two primary reasons. Following his departure from Indiana, the Pacers' difficult start to the current season has prompted analysis about the team missing his defensive contributions. Concurrently, his new involvement with the Milwaukee community has been highlighted, including recent volunteer work with teammates at a local food bank.
