Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner defended himself after a clip of him discussing former teammate Tyrese Haliburton went viral on social media.
The clip, from the "Thanalysis" podcast, appeared to show Turner dissing Haliburton, leading to backlash from fans.
“Tyrese Haliburton knows he's protected, too,” Turner said. “So he can go out there, talk his s***, say whatever he wants to do, and then he knows he has backup. He’s not going to be talking the same s*** if he’s in the middle of the street.”
Turner later walked back his comments after they sparked controversy online.
