Are Indiana’s leaders music lovers? It has been a few weeks since the front office has in any case started to tinker to adjust its workforce.
After signing winger Gabe McGlothan for ten days, replaced along the way by interior James Wiseman, whose freelance ends today and will not be renewed, the Pacers made a new change Friday by calling on the interior of the G-League Micah Potterpreviously affiliated with the Austin Spurs. Barely arrived, he scored 9 points on 100% shooting against the Celtics.
Garrison Matthews had just extended
This choice is explained by the lack of rotation in the paint currently due to the absences of Tony Bradley and Isaiah Jackson, while Obi Toppin will not be back until February. It mainly resulted in the dismissal of Garrison Matthews, who had just signed a contract worth $2.03 million until the end of the season.
Micah Potter had failed to find a spot in the NBA this season and he remained in good shape in the G-League, with 15.7 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2 assists in 32 minutes on average over 13 games since the restart. He had his best game just a fortnight ago with 29 points (4/5 by far) and 13 rebounds in the victory against the Mexico City Capitanes.
