Recent Pacer Moves

The Pacers announced yesterday that they have signed reserve point guard Travis Diener. Terms of the contract were not revealed, but it is rumored to be a 3 year deal worth $4.9 million. Diener averaged 3.8 points, 1.0 assists, and 10.9 minutes per game for the Orlando Magic last season.

The Pacers opted not to match Toronto's offer sheet to Maceo Baston. This means that Maceo will leave the Pacers and join the Raptors. Baston averaged 8.6 minutes, 2.9 points, and 1.6 rebounds in 47 games for the Pacers last season.

Earlier this month the Pacers also signed guard Kareem Rush. Rush played 4 years in the NBA before being cut by Charlotte last spring. Over his 4 year NBA career Rush averaged 17 minutes and 6.4 points per game. He most recently played in the Lithuanian League where he earned final four MVP honors last season.
