Evan Turner (strep throat) expected to be back for Pacers in Game 2

Why would the Pacers mess with an offense that worked better in Game 1 than it has in month?

You can be sure Miami will come out with a much more energetic, focused defense in Game 2. How will Indiana counter?

Maybe with Evan Turner?

The struggling swingman missed Game 1 with a case of strep throat, the team said. Pacers’ coach Frank Vogel said after the game Turner could be back for Game 2.

“I do expect him to be back,” Vogel said in his postgame press conference, broadcast on NBA TV. “I mean, it’s strep throat. Hopefully he’s back by Tuesday.”

More Offseason Analysis: Coaching changes, news | Free Agency | Draft

Evan Turner is headed to the Boston Celtics, as first reported by Steve Bulpett of theBoston Herald.

Turner, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 draft, had a disappointing stint with the Indiana Pacers last season. The team posted terrible offensive and defensive efficiency numbers when he was on the court, and he was out of the rotation come playoff time. Averaging 7.1 points, 3.2 rebounds off the bench and shooting 41 percent from the field in Indiana hurt his stock and cost him significant free-agent money.

Before being traded to the Pacers at February's deadline, Turner averaged a career-high 17.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game for the Philadelphia 76ers, though he only shot 43 percent from the field and 29 percent from the three-point line in those 54 games, the vast majority of which were losses.

This will be a reclamation project for Boston head coach Brad Stevens. Turner was a highly touted prospect because of his size, skills and ability to rebound well from the wing positions, and it's not as if all of that has gone away. He has been an inefficient NBA player for four years, though, and his defense needs a ton of work.

We'll see what the salary is, but it's not likely to be a huge commitment. For a team that isn't going anywhere anytime soon, this is a low-risk move. If Stevens can get through to Turner and harness his talent in a way that fits his system, it could be a high-reward one.

Hopeful he can reinvigorate his career. Never liked the celtics but now with Sully and ET there I will definitely watch.

Evan Turner denies ‘throwing ball at ref’ following ejection for doing exactly that


cd0ymzcznguwzdbhnduynddiytjhm2yyzthlmtjjotqwyyznptriymy4n2zmytq0otbimwvlnjy4mtdlzgyzothlyzzm-e1413513229398.jpeg


Evan Turner was ejected from Wednesday night’s contest between the Celtics and the Raptors for throwing the ball at an official, which the rulebook states is an accurate punishment for the offense.

The only problem is that when you watch the video, Turner’s actions seemed completely harmless.

But intent is almost impossible to determine, so when a player bounces a ball that ends up hitting an official, an automatic ejection is usually what takes place.

A day later, Turner wanted to make it clear that in doing what he did, he meant no disrespect.

Shouldn't someone change the thread title to Boston Celtics?
