Although the NBA post-season ended nearly one month ago in mid-June, the league's players continue to snag the headlines in the most interesting ways. From Victor Wembanyama's bodyguard slapping the daylights out of Britney Spears to Jalen Green dry-humping his teammate, the plotlines continue to write themselves into the headlines of media outlets everywhere. The NBA Summer League kicked off its annual slew of exhibition games last Friday. As the games continued throughout the weekend, fans were treated to a matchup between this year's top two lottery picks, Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller, as well as a game-ending buzzer-beater by Houston Rockets rookie Jabari Smith Jr. Despite several memorable moments, an instance that left a lasting impression on several NBA fans was when the camera panned over to a 6'11 Center named Myles Turner, who was sitting courtside in his street clothes, during a game between his Indiana Pacers and the Washington Wizards. A still shot of the ESPN broadcast has gone viral because the NBA's two-time league leader in blocks was sitting between two other players, wearing pink pants, a pink scarf, and some sunglasses while his legs were crossed.
Established NBA players like LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Steph Curry often attend NBA Summer League games as spectators in support of the younger players. So, spotting Myles Turner at this game was no surprise, but in the still shot, he appeared somewhat uninterested in the game, as everyone in the photo was looking in a different direction than he was.
The photo has since gone viral. Scroll up to take a look.
