Pacers to Bring James Wiseman Back on Another Contract, Exec Says

  • The Indiana Pacers announced on July 7, 2025, they will re-sign center James Wiseman to compete for minutes in their frontcourt.
  • This decision follows Myles Turner's departure to the Milwaukee Bucks and Wiseman's Achilles tendon tear five minutes into the Pacers' 2024-25 season opener.
  • Pacers president Kevin Pritchard said they saw a lot of potential in Wiseman during the preseason and value his size and athleticism despite prior injuries.
  • Wiseman, the second overall pick in 2020, has averaged 9.1 points and 5.6 rebounds over 148 NBA games but missed an entire season due to a meniscus tear.
  • Re-Signing Wiseman suggests the Pacers aim to fill their center void with a combination of players while relying on internal growth amid multiple injury risks.
