After two seasons with the Indiana Pacers, Rakeem Christmas will be waived by 5 p.m. today. After playing in just one single game during his rookie year, Christmas suited up for 29 games this season. He only played in a few summer league games this year due to suffering a sprained ankle.
The Pacers currently have a logjam of big men, so this move makes sense. Counting Christmas, the Pacers had 9 power forwards and centers on the roster. It would have been extremely hard for him to see the floor often, even with the Pacers starting a rebuild.
