In a somewhat-awkward twist of fate, Delon Wright is leaving the New York Knicks to sign with the Indiana Pacers squad that bounced them from the Eastern Conference Finals. This transaction is pending a physical.
News of Wright’s departure, as first relayed by Tony East of Locked On Pacers and Forbes, is only surprising relative to where he’s going. Even with Tyrese Haliburton out for all of next season, Indiana could use dependable wing play, reliable shooting or a more proven starting center.
Wright’s overall exit from New York, though, is a development that was set in stone long ago.
