Aaron Brooks has agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Indiana Pacers, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo’s The Vertical. The veteran point guard is expected to back up Jeff Teague, bringing some of the same up-tempo skills to the table in the second unit.
The signing will be official later this week, per Charania.

While Brooks suffers from some of the same defensive limitations of all the guards on the Pacers roster, he does add some badly needed shooting to the back court.
