Pacers to sign veteran journeyman to a deal

The Indiana Pacers are planning to sign Delon Wright to their training camp roster, per Pacers insider Tony East. That signing will be pending a physical.

Originally, the Pacers agreed to sign Monte Morris to their training camp roster, but as we relayed earlier Thursday, that signing is no longer taking place due to a calf injury suffered by Morris.

Considering Indiana is signing Wright in the stead of the Morris news, it’s likely he agreed to a deal similar in structure to Morris’s. That deal was slated to be a one-year, non-guaranteed pact.

When the Morris news broke, it was reported that he would compete in training camp for a roster spot with James Wiseman and Tony Bradley, whose contracts are not fully guaranteed. The Pacers have 13 players on standard, guaranteed contracts. They also have three players signed to Exhibit 10 deals.

Wright began last season with the Bucks before being traded to the Knicks ahead of the deadline. He averaged 3.1 points across 40 appearances with both teams. He was a bit more productive in New York, averaging 4.3 points and 2.1 assists and making six playoff appearances.

If Wright plays in the regular season this year, it will be his 11th season in the league and, if he sticks with the Pacers, his 11th different team. He holds career averages of 6.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists
