Turner, a St. Joseph's graduate, is a 6-foot-7 forward who was averaging 17.4 points and 6.0 rebounds for the 76ers on 42.8 percent shooting. He figures to give the Eastern Conference-leading Pacers more punch off the bench in their quest to dethrone the two-time defending champion Heat.
Turner will be a restricted free agent this offseason. Granger was averaging 8.3 points for Indiana, and he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Allen, a 6-foot-9 power forward, was averaging 5.2 points for Philadelphia.
