The Pacers made their final roster moves to reach the 15-player limit as they prepare to open the season in Toronto on Wednesday.
Before anyone knew the Pacers signed Petteway on Sunday, the team waived the former Nebraska star on Monday. Surely there were some logical roster machinations involved past bringing Petteway in for a 24-hour look. As Nate Taylor reports, Petteway will now end up lacing 'em up in Fort Wayne with the Mad Ants. Petteway spent most of the preseason in Atlanta before the Hawks waived him last Thursday.
As for Toney Douglas, he performed pretty well for the Pacers and seemed like a worthy heir to the reserve point guard spot on the roster held by Donald Sloan last season.
