Pacers Notes: Indiana Monitoring Top Free Agent, Fan Favorite Unlikely to Return, More

Indiana Pacers forward James Johnson may not return for another season, according to recent reports.

Johnson was a key veteran on the team, providing leadership and strengthening the team's culture. He was on the team during its most recent NBA Finals run.

A Pacers insider, however, doesn't see Johnson having a spot on this upcoming season's roster.

In other news, the Pacers are reportedly monitoring free agent wing Malik Beasley, a shooter who can space the floor and typically plays an uptempo style.

He would fit the Pacers perfectly in terms of overall play style. Beasley was facing a gambling-related investigation, although he is reportedly no longer a target, which opens up a path for him to play in the NBA next season.
