The Pacers will waive Tristan Thompson on Thursday, and the veteran big man will sign a deal with the Chicago Bulls, Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday night.
In a surprising moment, Carlisle announced the news following the Pacers' 113-108 win against the Washington Wizards.
Thompson had joined the Pacers last week as part of the blockbuster trade that sent Domantas Sabonis to the Sacramento Kings.
He appeared in four games total for Indiana, with his 17 points against the Wizards on Wednesday night his most since the trade.
