INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers announced Friday they have signed veteran free agent center Al Jefferson to a multi-year contract. Per team policy, no terms are released.
The 6-10, 289-pound Jefferson spent the last three seasons of his 12-year NBA career with Charlotte. Drafted by the Boston Celtics in 2004 (first round, 15th overall) out of Prentiss (Mississippi) High School, Jefferson was with Boston three seasons before being traded to Minnesota. He spent three years there before being traded to Utah, where he played for three seasons. He then signed as a free agent with Charlotte in 2013.
