The Pacers allowed 38 points off turnovers and made just 8-of-42 3-point attempts in a 104-85 loss to the Thunder in NBA Summer League play.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (33) blocks a shot by Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (9) in the third quarter during game six of the 2025 NBA Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. "For me, ultimately it was about just staying competitive," he said. "Two years ago, we got to the conference finals. Obviously, last year we got to the Finals."

Haliburton tore his Achilles in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, in a contest where the Pacers star was playing on a strained calf muscle. Haliburton went down with the devastating injury in the first half, a game that ultimately saw the Thunder clinch its first NBA title since the franchise moved to Oklahoma City.

Haliburton's injury and the threat of the second tax apron just made Turner collateral damage, and after an exciting run to the NBA Finals that ended on a somber note, this has to fee like salt in the wound to Pacers fans.

Pacers center Isaiah Jackson has agreed to a three-year, $21 million contract with the Pacers after missing most of last season with an Achilles tear.
