Indiana Pacers To Waive Mac McClung, Sign Veteran Monte Morris
The Pacers signed veteran Monte Morris to strengthen their roster amid injuries sidelining key players including Tyrese Haliburton and Obi Toppin.
- On Thursday, the Indiana Pacers waived guard Mac McClung and signed veteran Monte Morris, ESPN reporter Shams Charania reported.
- The Pacers cited a run of injuries as the reason for adding veteran guard Monte Morris after eight players were sidelined in Wednesday's 112-103 loss, with nine different players missing time early this season.
- Financially, releasing Mac McClung creates a $164,060 cap charge while Monte Morris's deal carries just under $2.1 million, with McClung signed last week and appearing in three games.
- The Pacers expect Monte Morris to take on a larger short-term role, as his low-turnover, caretaker skills should help dominate the possession battle and earn wins on the upcoming road trip.
- The team's roster churn—four transactions already—reflects broader injury challenges as Indiana Pacers have been forced to be creative amid the crisis.
