The Indiana Pacers have waived forward Jakeenan Gant, the team announced Wednesday. With only two games remaining on the team’s condensed preseason schedule, the move likely signals intention on behalf of head coach Nate McMillan to increase minutes and reps for his core rotation players over the remainder of the abbreviated slate.
“These next couple of days, and really the days that we have between now and opening night are very important,” McMillan said at Tuesday’s practice while sharing his thoughts on building team chemistry with so many new faces.
