INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner, the team's longest tenured player with 10 years of service and the franchise's all-time leading shot blocker is leaving the Pacers to sign a four-year, $107-million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday.

The Indiana Pacers will lose Myles Turner in free agency to the Milwauee Bucks in what might be a crushing blow for the Pacers.

According to a report from NBA insider Jake Fischer, Indiana has registered interest in free agent big man Deandre Ayton. He was bought out recently by the Portland Trail Blazers, although the Los Angeles Lakers are considered by most to be the front-runners to sign him.
