In addition, the Bucks are reportedly waiving guard Damian Lillard to make room for the new big man, who will likely replace the void left by Brook Lopez, who is set to sign with the Clippers.
In 10 years with the Pacers, Turner led the league in blocks twice and averaged 2.2 a game. He also shot about 36% from long range on about 3.3 attempts per game from three. His 3-point shot volume rose significantly from 2023-24 (4.2 attempts per game) to 2024-25 (5.5).
