Keifer Sykes, Mom enjoy moment after Pacers guarantee contract

On Friday afternoon, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that the Pacers guaranteed Keifer Sykes contract for the remainder of the season.

Sykes joined the Pacers in late December after the team released reserve point guard Brad Wanamaker. It has been less than two weeks but with all of the COVID roster shuffling and another player, Kelan Martin, recently released, Sykes seems like he’s been here all season.

While his play has been inconsistent and not necessarily more productive than Wanamaker on most nights, when he has the three-ball going Sykes is certainly a solid option for a reserve point guard.
