Myles Turner Attends Pacers’ “Star Wars” Night With Girlfriend Dressed As Princess Leia

by

Pacers center Myles Turner was allowed to express his full inner geek when the team held a Star Wars night earlier this week. Turner arrived dressed as Han Solo while his partner wowed in a faithful recreation of Princess Leia’s iconic outfit. The pair had previously dressed as Hogwarts students to celebrate Halloween. However, people have been begging Turner for the woman’s name as it is something he has kept very private. Furthermore, Turner appeared in a Jedi robe and wielding a lightsaber in several promotional images for the event.

As for the game itself, the force was certainly with the high-flying Pacers. They blew out the Hornets 144-113. Turner had 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks to do his part as the team snapped a four-game losing streak. However, Turner picked up a hamstring injury during the game. As a result, he is currently listed as a game-time decision ahead of the team’s next game against the Grizzlies.

Speaking of the Grizzlies, a new shadow hangs over recently returned star Ja Morant. According to Judge Carol Chumney who is presiding over an assault suit involving Morant, she is not ready to rule on whether he is protected by self-defense immunity. She stated that she needed more time with the case due to the lack of precedent. Tennessee has stringent self-defense laws. However, they have never been applied to a civil case like the one Morant is facing.

Morant has been sued by Joshua Holloway. Holloway claims that Morant assaulted him when Holloway attended a pick-up game at Morant’s home. Morant has countered that he was defending himself as Holloway hit him in the face with a basketball. Furthermore, Morant’s lawyers have argued that this qualifies Morant for immunity from prosecution under state law. The ongoing trial has played out in the background as Morant scored 34 points, including a game-winning buzzer-beater, in his NBA return this week.

Myles Turner Has A Little Fun With Pacers Rookie

by

Myles Turner is one of the longest-tenured players on the Indiana Pacers. The NBA veteran has become a leader for the franchise. However, sometimes, the leader’s like to have little fun with the masses. After the end of Bennedict Mathurin’s rookie season, Turner had a little fun with the rookie. Turner and others from the team decided to give Mathurin a treat for all his hard work this season. But the gift may have not been what Mathurin was looking for.

Mathurin was welcomed to the parking lot by the team and his newly wrapped vehicle. No, the vehicle wasn’t wrapped like a present. But rather layered in plastic wrap. Turned filmed the entire prank, and it was worth it. Mathurin’s reaction was exactly what you would expect it to be. Shocked and hiding his anger from the situation he was dealing with. As Mathurin attempted to tear off the wrap, Turner and his teammates shared a great laugh. Another moment in the life of a rookie.

Myles Turner Has Become A Pacers Leader

Aside from giving the rookies a hard time, Turner has become the focal point of the Pacers. The former Texas Longhorn finished the season in the top 3 in points, rebounds, and blocked shots for the team. Turner’s name has been involved in trade talks for the last few seasons. However, it seems he is enjoying his time in Indiana. The Pacers would love to see their recent youth movement help Turner lead the organization to a playoff spot next season.

For all you NBA rookies, be on the lookout for a veteran like Myles Turner. It’s a long season for these guys. So moments like this are cherished commodities for all the guys. Mathurin was a good sport with the prank. At least, as far as we know. I wonder how LaMelo Ball would feel seeing one of his exotic cars in this shape? Do you think the prank was all in good fun? Or do you believe it may have gone too far? Let us know in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, stay right here at HNHH.

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner hasn’t played in an NBA game since the middle of last month due to a stress reaction in his left foot. He was set to be re-evaluated two weeks after the injury, but it remains to be seen if his next game will be in a Pacers jersey. That’s because his name has come up multiple times in trade rumors. As we wait to see what happens with him, Turner used some of his recovery time to make a giant, $100,000 bet.

Turner was joking with people on Twitter when rising Detroit rapper BabyTron stepped in to throw a jab at him. “ARE YOU EVER GONNA MAKE THE ALL STAR TEAM @Original_Turner,” BabyTron wrote. Turner issued his response, but not without checking out some of BabyTron’s music. “@_babytron No [cap] i have no idea who you are but I just listened and you ain’t bad… wager sumn,” Turner wrote. “I make an all star team or you get a billboard top 10 single.” He then placed his wager for the bet, writing, “Put 100 k onnit [handshake emoji].”

BabyTron seemed quite excited to make the bet as he eagerly replied, “ITS ON [handshake emoji].” As for BabyTron’s rap career, he’s quite the active artist, having released four projects in 2021: Lewis & Clark, Dookie Brothers 2, Luka Tronic, and Bin Reaper 2.
