Earlier than expected, considering he was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, shooting guard Evan Turner will be an unrestricted free agent at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.

The Indiana Pacers, who acquired Turner from the Philadelphia 76ers in a trade during last season, will not extend a qualifying offer of $8.7 million on the final year of his rookie deal, two people familiar with Indiana’s decision told USA TODAY Sports.
