Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has agreed to a two-year, $60 million extension that will keep him with the team through the 2024-25 season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Turner, 26, is averaging career highs in scoring and rebounds (17.5 points and 7.9 rebounds) while blocking 2.4 shots per game for the Pacers (24-27), who currently sit ninth in the Eastern Conference.

Turner has been the subject of trade talks all season as he's in the final year of his contract, but with this move, the Pacers clearly see the big man as a centerpiece for their future, which includes young rising stars Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin.
