Overview
- Indiana announced the transaction after initial reporting by Jake Fischer, confirming Bradley’s release from his non‑guaranteed deal.
- The Pacers will carry $1,355,225 in dead money instead of Bradley’s full $2,940,876 salary for 2025–26, per ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
- The roster drops to 14 players, giving Indiana added flexibility, including the ability to use 10‑day contracts now that the signing window is open.
- Bradley appeared in 29 games this season, averaging 3.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 10.7 minutes, and he recently played through a right‑thumb tip fracture Rick Carlisle called partially functional.
- Bradley is expected to clear waivers and become an unrestricted free agent, with a potential 10‑day return an option and an increased likelihood that Micah Potter’s contract is guaranteed.
