NBA star Myles Turner has officially kicked off a new chapter in his career.
Myles Turner signed with the Milwaukee Bucks this summer after spending the first 10 years of his NBA career with the Indiana Pacers.
Since then, Turner has said nothing but nice things about the Bucks, as it feels like the veteran center wants to play for them for the rest of his career.
However, words won’t mean anything if Turner can impress the Bucks Nation with his performance on the hardwood.

While the 2025-26 NBA season is yet to begin, Bucks fans finally witnessed Turner’s debut during the team’s preseason matchup against the Miami Heat.
Turner ended up with 8 points and 2 rebounds in 15 minutes of playing time during the Bucks’ 10-point win over their Eastern Conference rivals.
Bucks fans were evidently quick to react to Turner’s debut for the team, and here’s what they thought of it.
“Myles and Giannis on the floor together gonna look amazing,” a fan wrote. While another added: “Myles is so good in preseason, regular season, and postseason.”
“We’re winning the championship,” a third fan declared.
“Myles Turner is the real deal,” a fourth fan stated.
“Don’t listen to the insecure Indy fans, Milwaukee loves you here,” a fifth Bucks fan confidently wrote.
The consensus from Bucks fans was positive, but the only complaint they had was the lack of rebounds from Turner.
Myles Turner’s two-word response after Milwaukee Bucks debut
Even after a lackluster rebounding night, fans shouldn’t be quick to judge. After all, it’s just the preseason and Turner has yet to share the court with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Either way, the debut held a special place in Turner’s heart as he was quick to react to his first-ever bucket in a Bucks jersey.
Indeed, it’s a new beginning for Turner, as he will remain a key part of the Bucks’ starting five this season.
That’s just the start as Turner is tipped to unlock Giannis’ full potential in the upcoming campaign. Thus, helping the Bucks make a deep postseason run.
