Overview
- Potter joins on a standard, non-guaranteed one-plus-one contract that places him on the Pacers’ 15-man roster, per multiple reports.
- The move targets frontcourt depth with Isaiah Jackson out due to a concussion and Tony Bradley limited by a fractured right thumb.
- James Wiseman was released after his 10-day hardship contract expired following Dec. 25, and the team is not currently eligible for another hardship exception.
- Garrison Mathews was waived to open the roster spot; his non-guaranteed deal minimizes additional cost after averaging 5.2 points in 15 games for Indiana.
- Potter, 27, has NBA experience with the Pistons and Jazz and was producing with the G League’s Austin Spurs this season as a floor-spacing big.
