NBA Star Myles Turner Returns to North Texas for Honor

Former North Texas high school basketball star Myles Turner returns to Euless to be honored by his home town Thursday.

The Mayor of Euless will proclaim Feb. 11 as Myles Turner Day in the city at a pep rally at Central Junior High School, which he attended from 2006 through 2009.

The Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District will also name the first Myles Turner Player of the Year award recipient at the pep rally. The award will go to a junior high student-athlete with strong character, academics and leadership.

Turner starred at Trinity High School. The highly-coveted recruit attended the University of Texas in 2014 before being selected with the 11th overall pick of the 2015 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers.
