Pacers Sign Monte Morris to One-Year Deal After Haliburton’s Season-Ending Achilles Injury

The veteran guard brings nine seasons of experience following a 45-game stint with Phoenix last season.

Overview

  • Agents Andy Shiffman and Mark Bartelstein told ESPN’s Shams Charania that Morris agreed to a one-year contract with Indiana.
  • The signing targets backcourt depth following Tyrese Haliburton’s ruptured Achilles, which will sideline the All-Star for the season.
  • Morris, 30, is entering his ninth NBA season with prior stops in Denver, Washington, Minnesota, Detroit and Phoenix.
  • With the Suns in 2024-25, he appeared in 45 games on a one-year, $2.8 million deal and averaged 5.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
  • ClutchPoints echoed the agent-sourced report and characterized the situation as developing.
