Monte Morris will have a chance to make an immediate impact for the Pacers while also exacting revenge against his former team.
With their backcourt rotation continually thinning out on a game-by-game basis in 2025-26, the Indiana Pacers decided to acquire former Sixth Man of the Year candidate Monte Morris on Thursday while waiving 3-time Slam Dunk Contest champion Mac McClung.
The 30-year-old ex-Denver Nuggets point guard established himself as one of the NBA's most reliable reserve guards from 2018-22 with Denver, and the Pacers will attempt to get the incoming nine-year veteran up to speed on their gameplan.
