Nearly halfway through the season and Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis are still the most interesting parts of the Indiana Pacers. On the court both players are showing improvements that Pacer fans could have only dreamed about. Off the court, the long-term fit and financial impact of Turner’s extension and the possibility of one for Sabonis are fascinating.
This summer Indiana has the opportunity to extend Sabonis just like they did with Turner just prior to the 2018-19 season. The front office will more than likely try to give Sabonis an identical contract to that of Turner’s, which originally seemed like a slight overpay that now seems like a discount.
