Free agent forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has agreed to a two-year contract worth nearly $17 million to join the Indiana Pacers, according to sources via ESPN. The deal brings a versatile scoring wing to an Indiana roster looking to strengthen its depth for the upcoming season.
Oubre Jr., a veteran known for his athleticism and defensive length, most recently played for the Philadelphia 76ers. During his tenure in Philadelphia, he proved to be a reliable scoring option and a high-energy presence in the rotation. His move to the Indiana Pacers marks a significant addition to their frontcourt as they look to build on their recent playoff success.
The agreement, valued at approximately $8.5 million per year, secures the 28-year-old forward through the next two seasons. Oubre Jr. has consistently averaged double-digit scoring throughout his NBA career and is expected to play a major role in head coach Rick Carlisle's system. The Pacers beat out several other interested suitors to land the veteran's signature during this free agency period.
Official confirmation from the team is expected once the league's moratorium period concludes. No further details regarding player options or specific contract incentives have been released at this time.
