Pacers Sign Micah Potter, Waive Garrison Mathews as Wiseman Departs

Injuries at center plus the loss of hardship relief prompted Indiana to choose a non‑guaranteed addition.

Overview

  • Micah Potter joins Indiana on a non‑guaranteed deal that a league source described as a one‑plus‑one structure.
  • Garrison Mathews was waived to open a roster spot, and his non‑guaranteed contract limits the Pacers’ financial obligation.
  • Indiana released James Wiseman after his 10‑day hardship contract expired, with the team stating the move created space for Potter.
  • The signing addresses depth issues from Isaiah Jackson’s concussion and Tony Bradley’s fractured right thumb behind starter Jay Huff.
  • The Pacers were not granted another hardship exception, so Potter fills a standard 15‑man roster slot.
