""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 finished with 33 points 13 rebounds and five 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 Gainbridge Fieldhouse and was met with sustained boos during a pregame tribute and throughout the contest. The Milwaukee Bucks won 117-115 on a buzzer-beating jump shot by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who finished with 33 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. Antetokounmpo gave booing fans a thumbs down and shushed them after the game. Turner described the reception as disheartening and frustrating after giving 10 years, taking pay cuts and enduring trade rumors. Antetokounmpo and teammates emphasized their support for Turner and said they wanted to lift him after the reaction.
