Overview

  • The Pacers announced Saturday they signed James Wiseman to a 10-day hardship contract and released Gabe McGlothan from his 10-day deal.
  • Wiseman is eligible to play immediately, with his first opportunity coming Saturday night against the Pelicans in New Orleans.
  • McGlothan, promoted from the Noblesville Boom earlier this week, did not appear in a game and is expected to return to the Boom, per reporting.
  • Wiseman, the No. 2 pick in 2020, tore his Achilles five minutes into the 2024-25 opener, later rehabbed in Indianapolis, and briefly started on Oct. 25 before being waived.
  • The Pacers are leaning on Jay Huff and Isaiah Jackson at center, and some outlets report the team could still explore longer-term options at the position.
