Pacers Plan to Add Delon Wright on Non-Guaranteed Camp Deal After Monte Morris Setback

Pending a physical, the veteran would enter a camp battle for a backup role created by Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury.

Overview

  • Indiana intends to sign Delon Wright to a one-year, non-guaranteed training-camp contract, with the agreement contingent on a physical.
  • General manager Chad Buchanan said Monte Morris has a calf strain and will not be in training camp after an earlier agreement to bring him in.
  • The Pacers have 13 players on guaranteed deals and three on Exhibit 10 contracts, setting up a competition for remaining roster spots.
  • Wright is expected to vie for a place alongside non-guaranteed bigs James Wiseman and Tony Bradley, with roster priorities likely to determine who sticks.
  • Adding Wright would likely require waiving a player, with Forbes noting Exhibit 10 signee Samson Johnson as a possible move.
