Myles Turner pens long letter to Pacers fans after signing with Bucks: "I NEVER took the easy way out. I took the criticism on the chin..."

Furphy, a 6-foot-9, 200-pound, 20-year-old former second round draft pick from Melbourne, Australia, has been working out in Indy since the opening of summer league camp on Friday. The Pacers will meet the Cleveland Cavaliers in the summer league opener for both teams at 4 p.m. Central Time on Thursday in Las Vegas.

Ingrained in T.J. McConnell’s path to the NBA Finals was a strong work ethic. The mindset allowed him to shine on basketball’s brightest stage last month.

The Indiana Pacers saw their decade-long center go to a division rival. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle explained a negotiating tactic NBA teams deploy.

The New York Knicks were so close to qualifying for the NBA Finals. After earning the No. 3 seed in the NBA Playoffs, the Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons in six games, although it often required some late-game heroics from Clutch Player of the Year Award winner Jalen Brunson.

New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown has an apt one-word description for what Jalen Brunson brings to the game.

Brown, who takes over a Knicks team that reached the Eastern Conference finals before firing head coach Tom Thibodeau in the offseason, said the team's identity will be based on a trust centered around sacrifice, connectivity, competitive spirit and belief in the process and each other.

After opting to leave the Indiana Pacers for the Milwaukee Bucks, Bennedict Mathurin took a shot at Myles Turner with a social media post.
