US EditionPacers to Bring James Wiseman Back on Another Contract, Exec Says
MARION COUNTY, INDIANA, JUL 7 – James Wiseman, averaging 8.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in limited play, joins the Pacers to fill the frontcourt gap after Myles Turner's free agency exit, team officials said.
- On July 7, the Indiana Pacers confirmed they re-signed James Wiseman in a press release after he recovered from an Achilles tear sustained last season.
- Myles Turner left for Milwaukee, creating a 6-11-sized frontcourt void, prompting the Pacers to sign Wiseman to address their roster gap.
- Despite his injury history, Wiseman's preseason potential convinced the Pacers to sign him amid injury risks like his meniscus and Achilles tears.
- Pritchard said Wiseman will compete for a roster spot alongside Huff, Bradley, and Jackson, with his salary guarantee and spot uncertain.
- As the 2025-26 season approaches, Wiseman's health remains uncertain, while Haliburton's Achilles injury could give him extra opportunity to establish his role.
