Digging into Evan Turner’s Career Earnings
First, I fired up my browser. I wanted to get a general overview before diving in deep.
I started with a basic search. Just wanted to get a sense of which sites might have the info I needed. There’s a bunch of sports sites out there, and some are better than others for this kind of stuff.

After a bit of browsing, I found a few websites that looked promising. They had year-by-year breakdowns of his salary, which was exactly what I was after. Data are organized and easy to read.
- 76ers (2010-2014): It started off pretty modest, as you’d expect for a rookie.
- Pacers and Celtics: there was increase of salary.
- Trail Blazers (2016-2019): He got big increase in salary.
- Hawks (2019-2020): ended his career here.
I grabbed a pen and paper – yeah, I’m old school sometimes – and started jotting down the numbers for each season. I added everything up.
I double-checked the numbers, just to be sure. It is a big number.
So, there you have it. That’s how I figured out Evan Turner’s career earnings. It wasn’t rocket science, but it took a little bit of digging and some basic math.
