Myles Turner Gives Blunt Answer About Return to Indiana After Leaving the Pacers
Myles Turner Gives Blunt Answer About Return to Indiana After Leaving the Pacers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Myles Turner is heading into a brand new chapter with the Bucks, but don't think for a second he's left everything from Indiana behind. Sure, the Pacers made a surprise run all the way to the finals last season, but for Turner, that wasn't enough to stick around; he knew he needed a fresh start somewhere else. Advertisement And now, with a clean slate in Milwaukee, he's still got a few things to get off his chest. Turner hasn't forgotten the heat he took back in Indy, and judging by what he just said, he's making sure nobody else forgets it either. In a chat with NBA TV, Turner spoke about his departure, and the criticism he received during his time with the Pacers. He said, 'I don't know what to expect, I really don't. I think it's gonna be half-and-half. Even my time there (in Indy), there were a lot of people who wanted me to be off the team, and now they got what they wanted, and now they're complaining still.' Turner didn't exactly name names, but it's no secret he's been tangled up in trade rumors for years. At 6'11" with serious rim protection skills, he was always on someone's wishlist and the Pacers didn't do much to quiet the noise. Advertisement Still, no one really thought he'd bail just as Indy was peaking, making the East Finals in 2024 and then the NBA Finals in 2025.

TNT Sports stepping away from NBA TV
June 27 - TNT Sports will relinquish oversight of NBA TV operations, it was announced today by TNT Sports Chair and CEO Luis Silberwasser. After a 17-year run with TNT Sports, day-to-day operations will revert to the league on Oct. 1. "We made several proposals to continue to provide services and operate the NBA TV network and related digital assets," Silberwasser wrote in a memo to employees of the Warner Bros. Discovery cable unit, as reported by Sportico. "However, we were unable to agree on a path forward that recognized the value of our expertise, quality content and operational excellence that our fans and partners have come to expect from TNT Sports." In July 2024, the league announced a new 11-year agreement with the Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal and Amazon Prime Video to broadcast approximately 75 games on linear television in addition to all national games being available on streaming services. TNT's agreement called for a minimum of 15 games on broadcast television. TNT will continue to generate digital content for the league through Bleacher Report and House of Highlights and maintain editorial control of the Inside the NBA studio show. The highly popular program that features Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O'Neal and Ernie Johnson will air on ESPN and ABC. --Field Level Media

T.J. McConnell's dad crashes son's postgame interview: 'He's a warrior… it doesn't matter how tall you are'
Once again T.J. McConnell proved a catalyst for the Indiana Pacers. The backup point guard scored 12 points in the Pacers' 108-91 Game 6 win of the NBA Finals and got the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd into a frenzy with his hustle plays. He added nine rebounds, six assists and four steals as the Pacers forced a decisive Game 7 back in Oklahoma City on Sunday night. In his postgame interview on NBA TV, McConnell's dad, Tim McConnell — one of Western Pennsylvania's most-accomplished high school basketball coaches — crashed the party. Tim was particularly tickled at the chance to talk with Isiah Thomas, admitting he was a "big fan." 'I'll tell you right now, he's a warrior… it doesn't matter how tall you are," Tim said of his son, who is listed at 6-1. 'What do you think of his performance tonight?' NBA TV's Jared Greenberg asked. 'Excellent. Just disappointed he missed two foul shots in the beginning," Tim said. "I kept saying, 'Man, I wish he had made those two foul shots, but he recovered, and we won the game, so I could forget about the foul shots. "Anything can happen in Game 7. We're going to OKC to try and win a world championship, and my son is a part of it, and I can't believe that.' McConnell's sister Megan is on the Phoenix Mercury, which led to a follow-up question from Isiah: "Why were you harder on him and softer on your daughter?' 'He says that, that's a lie,' Tim said. 'It's true,' T.J. responded. 'My daughter was an undefeated state championship. He lost in the state championship. We lost two games. So, undefeated…," Tim said with a shrug. "... He played great, but we didn't win it… The truth hurts… And now she's with the Mercury and I couldn't be more proud to say, 'I have a son in the NBA and I have a daughter in the WNBA. This is a dream come true. And I'm going to OKC for my son to play in a championship game and win the world championship."

The Thunder is under scrutiny for their poor performance in two consecutive games during the 2025 NBA Finals. With all the cameras being diverted to the Oklahoma City Thunder, their head coach, Mark Daigneault, has become the hotbed of discussion. Recently, reputed NBA analyst Charles Barkley fired up Mark Daigneault for his so-called strategic moves in the OKC Thunder's lineup. Charles Barkley criticized OKC Thunder's head coach Mark Daigneault for his lineup shifts As the Indiana Pacers dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the 2025 NBA Finals, Mark Daigneault has been under the scanner. He has become the talk of the town all thanks to his strategic moves in the team's lineup during the final games. However, the changes initiated by Thunder's head coach Daigneault showed their effect the first game, but things started falling apart from the second game. During a recent appearance on the widely watched show NBA TV, Barkley expressed his concerns with respect to the spiraling performance of the Oklahoma City Thunder. He mentioned that Thunder should focus on what is actually falling apart in the team. He even called out head coach Mark Daigneault after Game 3. Barkley stated, 'When I was sitting home watching Game 1, I'm like, holy smoly, what are these guys doing? I hate to be redundant—I'm like, if I got the best team in the world, I'm not changing anything. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo We're in the NBA Finals. We have been the best team in the NBA all year.' While criticizing the recent move by Thunder's head coach, Barkley said, 'They have the best bench in the NBA, and they're getting outplayed. And that's been the difference in the series so far. It takes guys out of their roles, but you know, some of these guys, they think they're damn Red Auerbach out there and act like they're the smartest dude in the room. I just think it was a mistake. You are who you are. Don't change. You're in the finals. They've been the best team in the NBA all year.'
