The Pacers waived three frontcourt players on Saturday with the regular season starting Wednesday

Indiana explains why the veteran remains invaluable to its locker room.

Indiana Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan has explained why the franchise brought back veteran forward James Johnson despite not having the cap space to keep him on the opening-night roster. Johnson has agreed to an Exhibit 9 training camp deal and will join the Pacers for camp, with the franchise leaving the door open to potentially bring him back later in the season.

Tyrese Haliburton once said James Johnson told him, “I got your back.” Now the Pacers are reportedly bringing the veteran enforcer back. The post Pacers Give Tyrese Haliburton Good News With Enforcer Signing: Report appeared first on HEAVY.
