Pacers Waive Mac McClung, Plan to Sign Veteran Guard Monte Morris

Indiana seeks steadier ball handling after injuries gutted its point guard rotation.

Overview

  • McClung was released nine days after signing a non‑guaranteed multiyear deal, creating a $164,060 cap hit this season.
  • He appeared in three games for Indiana and averaged 6.3 points in 11.3 minutes during his brief stint.
  • Indiana is signing Morris, 30, to bolster playmaking depth after previously considering him for camp before a calf issue.
  • The Pacers fell to 1-7 with eight players sidelined Wednesday, including Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles, season), T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Obi Toppin (foot).
  • Indiana has also turned to hardship exceptions, adding Cody Martin on a 10-day contract and Jeremiah Robinson‑Earl to keep the roster afloat.
