In the 2010 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Evan Turner as their No. 2 pick, who played ten successful years for them and the Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics, Portland Trail Blazers, and Atlanta Hawks in more than 700 games, averaging 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists a game.
Turner is now active on social media platforms like Twitter. He recently shared his thoughts on attending Taylor Swift's concert with his daughter, praising the pop icon's performance but expressing regret about not using the money he spent on tickets for a European vacation.

Former NBA star Evan Turner let it slip that ticket prices for Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" can be jaw-dropping. He was recently checked in with his daughter to catch Taylor Swift in Indianapolis-just expensive enough to keep some people from taking the dream trip to Europe. Turner joked on Twitter, "I went to Taylor Swift with my daughter last night and it was super fun and amazing, but we could've used that bread and went to Europe lol.”
Turner proved to be a short-timer for the Sixers, lasting only three seasons. In mid-2014, the Sixers dealt Turner to the Indiana Pacers for veteran forward Danny Granger and a future second-round pick, who would never play for the Sixers.15 years on from Turner's draft, just one player from the class still plays in the NBA today. Ironically enough, it is an active member of the Sixers. With Gordon Hayward officially retiring earlier in the year, only Paul George of the original 2010 class remains active.
Turner's humorous tweet regarding the high resale price of tickets struck a chord with fans. Even at an hour before the game, tickets were still available through reseller services like VividSeats for $2,213 apiece in the Lower Level. Turners' reaction seems like it's him, too, feeling the pinch. Former NFL great Pat McAfee and Kelly Stafford have also sung to Taylor Swift praises, whom she reposted after going to her tour in New Orleans.
The Eras Tour has just ended its second leg in the US while leaving praise from celebrities and fans. And before she jets off to Toronto on November 14 for the second phase of her international tour, Taylor Swift is giving herself some time to rest.
