While the Pacers Media Day let the collective peronality of the team shine through, there was some news regarding the contract status for a few players.
The Pacers plan to pick up the fourth-year option for Domantas Sabonis along with T. J. Leaf’s third-year option on their respective rookie deals for next season soon, as reported by J. Michael. For Sabonis, that means he will make a bit more than $3.5 million while Leaf will make around $2.8 million for the 2019-20 season. Having a rotation contributor on a rookie deal like Sabonis is a major bonus.
