Turner: Part of the reason for leaving the team is Halliburton getting injured because I m about to be thirty

Recently, the Bucks new aid Turner accepted an interview with a reporter.

When asked if I left the team because of Halliburton's injury, Turner said: "On an emotional level, yes, that was a shock to me. When things happened, I thought of him the first thing I thought of, and his future. But for me personally, I need to stay competitive; I'm about to be thirty. I looked at the Bucks' lineup structure and thought about how I could use my own characteristics to help the team return to the competition. I wouldn't say that this was the decisive factor in my decision; maybe it had an impact on Pacers management, but that part was not what I should talk about."

Halliburton suffered a right Achilles tendon tear in the finals G7. This summer, Turner agreed to sign a four-year contract with the Bucks worth $107 million.
