Pacers Poach Nuggets Defender Bruce Brown With $45 Million Deal

Dorchester native Bruce Brown Jr. is leaving the Denver Nuggets for a two-year, $45 million deal with the Indiana Pacers.
The deal includes a team option for the second year.
Brown started 31 games and was a key contributor in the playoffs for the Nuggets last season.
Denver wanted to keep Brown but couldn't offer a competitive deal due to salary cap rules.
The Pacers added Brown to their young roster, aiming to improve defensively on the perimeter.
