The Indiana Pacers have waived camp invitee Julyan Stone and six-year veteran and former Slam Dunk Champion Jeremy Evans, the team announced Saturday. These moves, in tandem with the earlier cuts of Alex Poythress and Nick Zeisloft, reduce the roster to the 15-player league maximum.
The Dallas Mavericks traded Evans along with cash to the Pacers over the summer to free up cap space to sign Dirk Nowitzki to a two-year, $40 million contract.
The 28-year-old, who was limited this summer after undergoing arthroscopic surgery in March to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, only appeared in two of Indiana’s six exhibition games logging a total of seven minutes.
