A Chicago native, Turner was drafted to the league by the Philadelphia 76ers as the second pick in 2010. He spent four seasons in Philly before suiting up for Indiana and Boston between 2014 and 2016.

The guard then moved West, signing with the Trailblazers before retiring as a Hawk in 2020. Earning a figure of $98.2 million during his time in the league, Turner is said to have an estimated net worth of $20 million, according to UrbanSplatter.com.

Although Turner seemed fascinated by Hurts' one-liner, the quarterback had more to say during the interview, discussing his team's preparations for the upcoming season.

"These last two days have been very challenging from a heat standpoint, so everybody, as a collective group,p continues to push through those things. Control what you can, I think it's a good test and a measure of where we are right now and where we desire to go," he explained.

The Eagles begin their title defense on Aug. 7 and will host the Cincinnati Bengals in their first game.
