INDIANAPOLIS — Everyone expected to see a new Myles Turner after following his off-season of ab-enhancing workouts and yoga on social media.

But the past two games showed different for the Indiana Pacers center.

“Ponytail Myles!" guard Cory Joseph said of the new hairstyle Turner has had the past two games. "He got them dreads out of his hair. Can finally see the hoop. He can see the rim now! Ponytail Myles!”

Turner scored 23 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out four assists during the Pacers' win against the Milwaukee Bucks. Against the Washington Wizards, he scored 26 points, pulled down 12 rebounds and blocked five shots.

Turner is doing his best to be modest about it, though.

“That’s what everybody’s gassing up (about)," Turner said. "Everybody’s saying it’s the ponytail, so I guess I gotta keep it now, right?”

He said it was a spontaneous decision, although Joseph claims Turner could be copying off his own ponytail.

"Cory did have a little bit to do with it," Turner said.

"There you go," Joseph answered. "Give the proper shoutout!"
