Indiana Pacers Poised to Sign Alex Len Pending Waiver Clearance
The Pacers aim to bolster their frontcourt depth by adding the veteran center following his expected release by the Wizards.
- The Washington Wizards are expected to waive center Alex Len, who plans to join the Indiana Pacers if he clears waivers.
- Len, a 31-year-old veteran in his 12th NBA season, was recently acquired by the Wizards in a three-team trade involving Marcus Smart.
- The Pacers are seeking additional center depth due to injuries to Myles Turner and earlier-season Achilles tears among their big men.
- Len has prior experience playing alongside Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton during their time with the Sacramento Kings.
- If signed, Len's contract could be for the remainder of the season or a 10-day deal, with postseason eligibility for the Pacers.
