Turner posted 17 points (7-12 FG), seven rebounds, three assists, three triples, one block and one turnover across 29 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 victory over Golden State.
The 17 points marked a season-high for Turner, who saw some more shots falling his way with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable, although the single block was a bit disappointing. The scoring has been inconsistent for Turner early in the season as he adjusts to his new surroundings, but he's been steady with the blocks and is averaging a career-high 3.0 assists per game, so it hasn't been a total disaster.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Passive performance Tuesday
Rotowire
Turner recorded five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 win over New York.
Turner delivered another underwhelming performance, continuing his slow start to the season. Although he has blocked at least two shots in all four games, he is averaging just 8.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per game. While it has been frustrating, adjusting to a new team can take some time, even for the best players. Look for Turner to get back on track, starting with Thursday's matchup with the Warriors.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Subpar offensive performance in win
Rotowire
Turner dropped four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal across 28 minutes in Friday's 122-116 victory over Toronto.
Turner has not been able to find his rhythm offensively, making only six of 20 field goal attempts and shooting an abysmal 18.2 percent from three in his first two games with Milwaukee. However, he has been able to salvage his muted offensive output, recording five total blocks and 13 rebounds in those two games. Turner's next chance to bounce back would be Sunday against the Cavaliers.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Busy in Bucks debut
Rotowire
Turner produced 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 victory over the Wizards.
Turner may not have been efficient shooting the ball, but he made a big impact as a facilitator and defender in his Bucks debut. Each of Milwaukee's starters had their minutes slightly reduced while the team nursed a late double-digit lead, so Turner could have some room for growth in minutes going forward.
Turner (calf) practiced in full Thursday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
After sitting out Tuesday's preseason finale versus the Thunder due to a sore right calf, Turner will have the green light for Opening Night on Oct. 22. He showed excellent chemistry alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo during the preseason and is set up nicely for another successful fantasy campaign.
Turner will not play in Tuesday's preseason finale versus the Thunder due to a sore right calf, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Turner will have over a week to rest his sore calf before Milwaukee's Opening Night game on October 22, so he should be fine. Turner can provide elite shot blocking numbers without hurting your free-throw percentage, making him an enticing mid-round target on draft day.
Turner logged 19 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes of Sunday's 127-121 preseason win over the Bulls.
This was Turner's first appearance alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the duo couldn't have looked better. Antetokounmpo's presence in the paint opened things up nicely for Turner, who proceeded to have a field day from beyond the arc with five made triples.
Turner closed with four points (1-1 FG, 2-4 FT) and one block in 16 minutes during Thursday's preseason win over the Pistons.
Turner was largely an observer Thursday, barely bothering the statisticians despite playing 16 minutes. There are bound to be some adjustments for Turner following his offseason move from Indiana. The hope is that he will serve as a one-for-one replacement for Brook Lopez, providing Milwaukee with a floor-spacing rim-protector while allowing Giannis Antetokounmpo to go to work inside.
