Domantas Sabonis and T.J. Leaf will see their rookie deals extended one more season, the Indiana Pacers announced Monday. As long as they pass physicals, it should happen in the coming days Kevin Pritchard said at the team’s media day.
Unlike their teammate Myles Turner, who doesn’t seem likely receive an extension before the deadline next month, the duo knows their short-term futures as far as contacts are concerned.
The Pacers will pay Sabonis $3.5 million next season while Leaf is due $2.8 million.
It’s an easy choice for the Pacers on both accounts, even more so with Sabonis.
