Pacers Waive Mac McClung After 3 Games, Move to Sign Monte Morris

Indiana turns to veteran playmaking to stabilize a backcourt thinned by injuries.

Overview

  • Indiana released McClung on Nov. 6, nine days after signing him to a multiyear, non‑guaranteed deal.
  • The Pacers are signing 30-year-old point guard Monte Morris to fill the newly opened roster spot.
  • McClung averaged 6.3 points in 11.3 minutes across three appearances for Indiana.
  • Waiving McClung triggers a $164,000 cap hit this season with no penalty next year, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
  • Morris brings steady playmaking with career averages of roughly 9.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists, and he has a brief window to integrate before Saturday’s game at Denver.
