Bucks' Myles Turner: Double-doubles but shoots poorly
Rotowire
Turner ended with 14 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-114 overtime loss to the 76ers.
Turner didn't have his best shooting performance in this contest, but he ended up with a double-double for the first time in the 2025-26 campaign. The shooting woes aren't much of an issue as long as Turner can be an effective two-way presence in the frontcourt, something that is needed desperately due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin). Turner is averaging 14.6 points, 6.7 boards and a combined 3.0 steals-plus-blocks per game over his last 10 outings.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Bounces back vs. Cleveland
Rotowire
Turner totaled 15 points (4-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 118-106 loss to Cleveland.
Turner found his groove from downtown during Monday's clash, hitting four or more triples for just the third time in 15 matchups this season. While the Bucks ultimately fell to the Cavs after losing Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) in the first half, it was reassuring to see Turner put together a complete performance after being limited to three points in 30 minutes Saturday against the Lakers.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Struggles offensively in loss
Rotowire
Turner racked up three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 119-95 loss to the Lakers.
Turner has shown glimpses of the kind of player he was during his tenure with the Pacers, but he has struggled in terms of consistency. The big man saw his six-game stretch of games with double-digit points end abruptly Saturday, and this three-point outing was a season-low mark for him. Turner is averaging 13.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and a combined 3.2 steals-plus-blocks in November.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Reaches 20-point mark in loss
Rotowire
Turner closed Wednesday's 111-100 loss to the Hornets with 21 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 29 minutes.
Turned reached the 20-point threshold for just the second time since joining Milwaukee and was a factor on the defensive end. He received more chances to make an impact Wednesday while the Bucks were without the services of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Turner has been turning in well-rounded final lines of late, averaging 17.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.8 blocks in 30.5 minutes over his last four appearances.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Defensive stalwart in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Turner finished with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 loss to the Rockets.
The six combined stocks were a season high for Turner, who also drained at least one three-pointer for the eighth straight game. The veteran center is still adjusting to his new teammates and scheme after making the jump from Indiana to Milwaukee in the offseason, averaging 11.4 points, 6.6 boards, 2.1 threes, 2.1 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals through his first 10 games with the Bucks.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Best performance of season Friday
Rotowire
Turner closed Friday's 126-110 win over the Bulls with 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one block and four steals over 31 minutes.
Turner has struggled to adjust to the Bucks' offensive scheme early on, which is understandable given that he spent his entire career with another franchise before joining Milwaukee in the offseason. However, the big man has been showing signs of turning things around of late. This 23-point output was a season-high mark for Turner, and he's scored in double digits in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Turner is averaging 12.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.8 blocks per game in four November appearances.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Swats five shots in win
Rotowire
Turner finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 32 minutes during Monday's 117-115 victory over Indiana.
Turner did not capitalize on playing his former team in the scoring department but was able to block five shots and ultimately get the win. He has been underwhelming offensively, averaging 9.7 points on 39.7 percent from the field, but making 1.9 threes per game as a center still provides great value.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Scores 17 points in win
Rotowire
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.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
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.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Quiet in preseason victory
Rotowire
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.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Headed to Milwaukee
Rotowire
Turner agreed to a four-year, $107 million contract with the Bucks on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Turner is coming off another stellar season with the Pacers, which was capped off by a trip to the NBA Finals. In a surprising turn of events, the veteran will now play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee after 10 years with Indiana. Over 72 regular-season games in 2024-25, Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocks per game, shooting 48.1 percent from the field and a career-high 39.6 percent from deep.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Struggles in Game 7
Rotowire
Turner ended Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals with six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.
One of Turner's worst performances of the season came at the worst possible time for Indiana, with the team falling one win short of a championship. Turner, who is set to become a free agent this offseason, is likely to draw considerable interest from around the NBA. While previous reports have indicated that a reunion with the Pacers is the most likely outcome, it will be interesting to see how this shakes out. The longest-tenured Pacer on the roster, Turner appeared in 72 regular-season games, producing 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 30.2 minutes per game.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Non-factor in Game 4 loss
Rotowire
Turner contributed 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Turner couldn't find any rhythm on the offensive end, missing several key baskets as the Pacers gave up a double-digit lead. In fact, Turner failed to hit a three-pointer for the first time since the opening round against the Bucks. With the series now all square, Turner will need to rediscover his form ahead of what promises to be a series-defining Game 5 in Oklahoma City on Monday.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Turner (illness) has been cleared to play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder.
Turner dealt with an illness during Game 3, which cast some doubt on whether he'd be able to play Friday in Game 4. However, the veteran big man will be available for Indiana as the team looks to take a commanding 3-1 lead over Oklahoma City. Turner has played well in the NBA Finals up to this point, averaging 13.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.7 blocks per game while shooting 42.4 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Fending off illness
Rotowire
Turner was dealing with an illness during Wednesday's 116-107 win over Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports. Turner tallied nine points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five blocks, two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes.
While Turner was feeling under the weather Wednesday, the illness didn't affect his workload, as he played 30 minutes for the first time since Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. While Turner may be held out of Thursday's practice, per Collier, the issue doesn't seem to be of major concern at this point. Wednesday's contest marked Turner's ninth game with at least five blocks this season, and his second of the playoffs. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Turner's health ahead of Friday's Game 4.
