After a decade with the Indiana Pacers, Myles Turner is embracing a fresh start — and he’s not buying into the old saying that “the grass isn’t greener on the other side.”
Officially unveiled as a Milwaukee Buck on Friday, Turner made it clear he’s not only confident in the move but sees it as a step toward his ultimate goal: winning an NBA title.
“I hate when they say the grass can’t be greener on the other side,” Turner said. “I’m confident enough to say the grass is going to be greener wherever I go.”
Coming off an NBA Finals run with the Pacers — where they lost Game 7 to the Oklahoma City Thunder — Turner joins a Bucks squad looking to get back to championship contention. He also adds youth and versatility to a core that featured 37-year-old Brook Lopez at center last season.
At 29 years old, Turner is entering his prime and brings elite rim protection and three-point shooting to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s supporting cast.
And in case there was any doubt he’s embracing his new colors, Turner joked:
“My girlfriend told me I look good in green.”
With his eyes firmly on a title, Turner’s confident the Bucks are the right fit for his next chapter — both on and off the court.
