Indiana Pacers To Acquire Memphis Grizzlies Center Jay Huff In Trade

SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE, JUL 5 – Jay Huff joins the Pacers to fill the void left by Myles Turner, bringing strong defensive skills and 40% three-point shooting last season, sources said.

  • On July 5, 2025, the Memphis Grizzlies sent Jay Huff, their center, to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for a 2029 second-round draft pick and the rights to a second-round pick swap in 2031.
  • The trade occurred because the Pacers lost longtime center Myles Turner to free agency and needed to reinforce their frontcourt depth.
  • Huff, a 7-foot-1 big man who played four seasons at Virginia and spent recent years with Memphis and Denver, impressed enough last season to earn a four-year contract conversion by Memphis.
  • He averaged 6.9 points per game while shooting 40.5% from three-point range over 64 games in 2024-25 and carries a cap hit of about $2.35 million for 2025-26 under a team-friendly deal.
  • The acquisition gives Indiana its best center under contract and adds a shooter with rim protection, though they plan to add more interior players given financial considerations.
