Monte Morris Bolsters the Pacers’ Roster
Free agent point guard Monte Morris has agreed to a one-year deal with the Indiana Pacers, according to his agents, Andy Shiffman and Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports.
With his ninth season in the NBA, Morris will add depth to the Pacers’ backcourt, who will be without their star Tyrese Haliburton for the entire season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Morris, 30, played last season with the Phoenix Suns, on a one-year contract for $2.8 million. In 45 games, he averaged 5.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists.
He was originally selected by the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the 2017 draft. He played five years in Denver.
Morris has also played for the Washington Wizards, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Detroit Pistons.
