Booed return: Bucks’ Myles Turner jeered in Indianapolis

The Pacers ran a tribute video for ex-center Myles Turner; fans booed throughout his first game back after his free-agency move to Milwaukee. Turner said comments about wanting a “celebratory” market were misread and reiterated respect for the city despite choosing a different project. Emotions trace to overlapping blows: Tyrese Haliburton’s season-ending injury and Turner’s exit to a recent playoff rival. Indiana’s fan response was predictable; Bucks coach Doc Rivers emphasized compartmentalizing noise. On-court, Turner’s spacing and rim protection remain central to Milwaukee’s early identity.

Ben Simmons Still Unsigned Amid Uncertain Future

Ben Simmons (NBA Free Agency)
September 2025

Former three-time All-Star Ben Simmons remains without a team over two months into free agency. His once-dominant two-way game has regressed significantly since leaving Philadelphia, as injuries and confidence issues reduced his offensive threat, leaving suitors hesitant to invest in him. After buyout talks with the Nets, Simmons briefly joined the Clippers but fell out of playoff rotation. Still an intelligent defender, his offensive struggles left teams effectively playing four-on-five. Without progress, Simmons may face retirement discussions as his free-agency limbo stretches on.
