Evan Turner RUMORS & NEWS

CSN Philly "Position: Guard Status: Signed through the 2013-14 season for $6.67 million. Restricted free agent in 2014. Signature game of 2012-13 Turner’s best statistical game of the season was probably the New Year’s Day victory over the Lakers in Los Angeles. Turner had 22 points on 8-for-14..." April 30

CSN Philly "Doug Collins' departure overshadowed the Sixer players going their separate ways for the offseason. Each player met with someone in the front office Thursday to talk about what transpired during the season and what should take place in preparation for next season. “Being better in back-to-back..." April 21

Philly.com "Say this for Evan Turner, he's self-assured. So far, the 76er hasn't had the impact expected as the second overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft. Despite that, Turner said that he'll be a Sixer next season even though his name has come up before in trade rumors. "Not to be arrogant or cocky,..." April 20

Courier-Post "Sixers forward Evan Turner and center Spencer Hawes still have personal goals to attain, even though the team will fail to reach the playoffs. They’re the only two Sixers with a shot at playing in all 82 games this season. “When you’re nicked up a little bit, it would be easy to take a night..." April 10

CSN Philly "On Friday night, the Sixers saw a reoccurring theme right from the opening tip. Doug Collins’ crew got off to a sluggish start, but this time, the Sixers had a strong close to the second quarter followed by an impressive start to the third that combined for a 22-4 run. The big spurt was pivotal..." March 30

CSN Philly "On Sunday, Jrue Holiday scored 30 points on 12-of-24 shooting, scoring one more point than Carmelo Anthony, who scored 16 of his 29 at the foul line. Evan Turner finished with 21 points, eight assists and six rebounds. He took 18 shots to finish with his point total, compared to Amar’e Stoudemire,..." February 26

Liberty Ballers "By now, it has been pretty well reported that the Sixers have been gauging the trade value for Evan Turner. It's likely that they're doing exactly just that, gauging value, rather than actively looking to trade him. But when asked about the Turner trade rumor brought to light by ESPN's Marc Stein,..." February 10

CSN Philly "It’s getting to be that time of year. With the Feb. 21 trade deadline approaching, the rumors fly fast and furiously. With the Sixers, general manager Tony DiLeo has been checking in with teams around the league but doesn’t expect there to be too much action before the deadline. “We’re..." February 10

CSN Philly "Often, an NBA basketball game is a microcosm for the season. There are hot streaks, cold streaks and times when the ball just doesn’t go into the basket for one reason or another. Lately, Evan Turner is having one of those streaks in which he couldn’t buy a bucket with a week’s pay. Turner..." February 08

SB Nation ""Sometimes, they forget you're human," Evan Turner said. Critics, that is. "And you start being looked at as an object more than as a person." It used to bother Turner, that people saw him as an object -- a draft pick, an investment, a cog in a machine. A contract. "You almost forget how..." January 10

Liberty Ballers "It was only one game, a game the Sixers are frankly going to lose nine out of ten times, but as always, there were both good and bad (or if you're an optimist, teachable) moments in the blowout loss against Oklahoma City. As we all know, the Sixers only have two ball-handlers even capable of..." January 06

Liberty Ballers "The Bulls are stupid. Really stupid. Quite a few talented players, but without Derrick Rose, they are a thin, Tom Thibodeau-coached stupid team. Case in point: Marco Belinelli shot missed 16 shots last game and he played 41 minutes. Kirk Hinrich starts. Carlos Boozer Carlos Boozers. But they're..." December 12

CSN Philly "Last season, Evan Turner was 11 of 49 (22 percent) from three-point range. Heading into this season, the thought was Turner should shoot from inside the yard and leave the long-distance dialing to his teammates. In the closing seconds of Tuesday's first quarter against the Mavericks, Turner..." November 29

Liberty Ballers "Important note to start this off. This isn't about Evan Turner right now. This isn't about how you think Evan is as a player, the likelihood that he succeeds or fails, or really anything about him at all. Do not flock to the comments to defend or condemn Evan because that is not what this is..." October 17

CSN Philly "Much has been made during the exhibition season of Spencer Hawes' move from center to power forward, and rightly so. Though Sixers head coach Doug Collins says the center and power forward positions are virtually the same in his system, Hawes will find himself guarding quicker players at the..." October 16

Pro Basketball Talk "Andrew Bynum is just one piece. I like that piece, I like the direction the 76ers are going. But as the double teams start loading up on Bynum fast and he gets better at passing out of them (a skill he needs to work on) it just puts more pressure on everyone else. The other guys need to step..." August 16

CSN Philly "He may no longer be part of the Sixers' front office, but former GM Ed Stefanski played a large role in the team's success last season. Many players that made up the Sixers' core, like Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner, were brought in by Stefanski. Jordan Sams of Liberty Ballers recently talked..." July 17

CSN Philly "Evan Turner was really bad Friday night. He shot 5 for 22, for goodness sake, in Game 4 of the Sixers' Eastern Conference semifinal series against Boston. But he was also really good. He scored half of his 16 points in that monstrous 37-16 second-half run, which took the Sixers from 18 down..." May 19

Courier-Post "The game was going down to the end. This was where the Boston Celtics were supposed to take over, use their experience and their veteran leadership to put away the young and inexperienced 76ers. Boston had done this in Game 1 Saturday, overcoming a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat..." May 15

CSN Philly "Remember when the Sixers played Orlando on Jan. 30 at the Wells Fargo Center? They beat Magic, 74-69, but with 2:52 to play in that game the Sixers were up by 69-51. They allowed Orlando to score 18 points in the waning minutes. When the contest concluded, an angry Doug Collins was seen on TV..." May 06

Courier-Post "Evan Turner sped past a defender for a dunk in the first quarter, and spun around a guy to make an acrobatic reverse lay-up in the second. Pretty plays, for sure. But the one that made the difference in the Philadelphia 76ers' 79-74 victory over the Chicago Bulls in Game 3 Friday night was..." May 06

Chicago Tribune "Evan Turner blocked out the booing in Chicago a long time ago. All the former St. Joseph star consumed himself with from the start of the playoffs was winning. Friday night, his will to win carried his 76ers to victory in Game 3 of the first-round series. With just 20 seconds left in..." May 05

CSN Philly "Jrue Holiday looks smooth, if not in slow motion when he is orchestrating the Sixers' offense. Evan Turner is quite the opposite. He attacks the basket with reckless abandon and pulls up for mid-range jumpers with bravado. Both young players had a huge hand in the Sixers' evening their..." May 03

Courier-Post "It was June 24, 2010, when the 76ers picked Evan Turner second overall in the NBA Draft, and immediately they had visions of Turner and Jrue Holiday playing together in the backcourt for at least a decade. Back then Turner was 21, Holiday was 20, and the future seemed limitless. First,..." May 03

CSN Philly "Evan Turner knew the type of reaction he would get when he took to the United Center court in Saturday's Game 1. The crowd booed him when he entered the game. The crowd booed him whenever he touched the ball. Turner is a Chicago native but his high school history with Chicago's beloved..." April 29

CSN Philly "Evan Turner grew up on the West Side of Chicago, within walking distance of the United Center. If there was any place he dreamed about playing when he was a kid it was at the Bulls' home court that loomed over the neighborhood. Meanwhile, Derrick Rose grew up on the South Side of Chicago, but..." April 29

CSN Philly "After Evan Turner scored 29 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the win over Milwaukee Wednesday, Doug Collins said of Turner, "I know this: He is this he is going to get a ton of minutes in the playoffs." Friday, after his team went through a walkthrough practice at the United Center in Chicago..." April 28

Chicago Sun-Times "Derrick Rose began earning his reputation as an understated, humble basketball star back in high school. He's carried it with him into college and the NBA. But there was one opponent who seemed to get under his skin, and it's someone he may be seeing a lot of very soon: Philadelphia's Evan..." April 27

CSN Philly "The Sixers' Evan Turner said Monday he has read parts of the new book Don't Put Me In, Coach: My Incredible NCAA Journey From the End of the Bench to the End of the Bench, by former Ohio State teammate Mark Titus -- a book that often depicts Turner in an unfavorable light -- but dismissed its..." April 25

CSN Philly "Sixers head coach Doug Collins says his starters are running out of chances to produce, and changes could be coming in the immediate future. If that is the case, then it's time to turn one of his starters, Evan Turner, loose. In order to build confidence, you have to consistently play, and for..." April 08

CSN Philly "A quick glance at the postgame stat sheet tells just exactly how much Sixers' coach Doug Collins wanted Sunday afternoon's matchup against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The minutes grew for some players and the rotations got shorter. Often, Collins will play nine or 10 of his 12 active..." March 12

Courier-Post "Jodie Meeks said he is fine with not starting after Sixers coach Doug Collins decided to replace him with Evan Turner on Monday. Meeks said Collins told him that it was nothing that Meeks did. Rather, he just felt that a change was needed because the Sixers were in a 2-8 stretch. Collins..." March 10

CSN Philly "As if the Sixers' season couldn't get any more interesting, a slight lineup tweak by coach Doug Collins has folks abuzz about the Atlantic Division leaders. With Evan Turner out of his reserve role and into the starting lineup, it seems as if the Sixers have bolstered their offense. Turner..." March 09

Courier-Post "The sun, on Tuesday night, shot a solar flare of radiation toward Earth. This was the largest electrical and magnetic wave sent our way in five years, according to the really smart people who look up for a living. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Space Weather Prediction..." March 08

Courier-Post "The natural reaction would be to ask 76ers coach Doug Collins why it took so long to put Evan Turner in the starting lineup. But Collins knew the question was coming even before it was asked. That's because Turner, in his second game as a starter this season, had a career-high 26 points, to..." March 08

Courier-Post "If there is a problem, Evan Turner doesn't know about it, and neither does 76ers coach Doug Collins. They were both caught off guard Wednesday morning when Stan Hochman of the Philadelphia Daily News told radio station 94-WIP that Turner is suffering from an undisclosed mystery..." March 08

Boston Herald "All Evan Turner wants to do is play basketball. In 76ers coach Doug Collins' ultimate scenario, Turner would play every game as he did last night. A day that began in a bit of controversy surrounding the second-year player ended with Turner having his best game as a pro, scoring a..." March 08

CSN Philly "We know that Doug Collins likes people to know their role, stay in their role, and star in their role. Andre Iguodala is the Sixers' best on-the-ball defender and accepts the challenge every game. Jrue Holiday's role is to get the team into its offense, which going into the All-Star break..." February 27

Courier-Post "Evan Turner's statistics don't stand out because he plays on a winning team, and isn't considered a team's savior. That's why 76ers coach Doug Collins said he was "ecstatic" that Turner, in his second season, was named to the Rising Stars Challenge roster, which consists of rookies and..." February 09

CSN Philly "We've seen it thousands of times on old highlight reels. In fact, it seems as if it's one of the signature moves in the history of the NBA to placed next to the logo, Jerry West, and Michael Jordan's tongue wagging as he drove to the hoop. How many times did Magic Johnson pull down a rebound..." January 09

Courier-Post "The Sixers have to be breathing a sigh of relief that in the 2010 draft they selected Evan Turner instead of DeMarcus Cousins, who was considered potentially the best player available. It's not that Turner has become a star or has the potential to become one. Or that Cousins won't one day..." January 08

CSN Philly "Modest beginnings can still lead to grand endings. In the fall of 2010, Scottie Pippen was inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame. That capped a 17-year NBA career where he was a seven-time all-star and six-time world champion. But as a rookie, Pippen, who was selected fifth overall in..." December 24

CSN Philly "They weren't exactly oil and water, but rare was the time when Sixers head coach Doug Collins would put veteran Andre Iguodala and rookie Evan Turner on the floor at the same time. Through some type of unconsciousness, the vet and the rookie did not mesh well on the court and seemed to have a big..." December 22

Washington Post "As John Wall approached, Philadelphia 76ers second-year guard Evan Turner got down in his defensive stance, and waited for Wall to make a move. Turner bit as Wall dribbled left, then stumbled as Wall crossed over and drove right. Wall blew past the frozen Turner, then elevated for vicious..." December 21

CSN Philly "Doug Collins has never told Evan Turner about his former teammate Bobby Jones, who aside from being the consummate defender and team guy, rarely ever started a game. Yet, he still went to five All-Star Games. Collins hasn't told Turner about Kevin McHale, the Hall of Famer from the Celtics, who..." December 17

Courier-Post "Ever since training camp started, Sixers coach Doug Collins has raved about Evan Turner's confidence. Turner said there are plenty of reasons for that confidence, starting with the 15 sessions over the summer and into the fall he spent with Herb Magee, the basketball Hall of Famer, Philadelphia..." December 13

CSN Philly "As he walked into PCOM his eyes were bright and wide under his wire rimmed glasses. His demeanor exuded a confidence and excitement comparable to that of a sophomore student as opposed to a freshman. Evan Turner became the second Sixer to take advantage of the team's practice facility opening..." December 03

Philly.com "The NBA announced the results of the 2011 T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie Team and, not shockingly, the Washington Wizards' John Wall and the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin headlined the selections. 76ers rookie Evan Turner did not make the 1st or 2nd team, but he was among those rookies..." May 12

Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel "Evan Turner has heard plenty about the terrible twos. He isn't buying into the trend. While the past three No. 2 overall selections in the NBA Draft hardly qualify as busts (well, at least two of the three), they also have represented a steep drop off from the players selected ahead of them...."
