""It was disheartening, man. It was frustrating," Turner said after the game. "You give 10 years of your life, your blood, your sweat, your tears. You take pay cuts. You survive trade rumors. You try to do everything the right way, and then sometimes stuff shakes out. It is cool. I take it on the chin.""
""He might not say it, but it kind of hurt," said Antetokounmpo, who posted 33 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists. "But we are here to pick him up, tell him how much we love him and respect him. We understand how much he gave for the team, for Indiana, and how much he's willing to give for Milwaukee. He's a great, great person, great character, a great competitor. I played against him for 10 years. I think he gave everything.""
Myles Turner returned to Indiana and faced loud boos from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd during a tribute video and throughout the game.

Turner described the reception as disheartening and frustrating after a decade with the franchise, mentioning pay cuts and trade rumors and saying he takes it on the chin. Milwaukee teammates rallied around Turner, praising his character and contributions. Turner embraced the hostile reception, miming closing a book and waving sarcastically.
