The 12-year veteran has been a perennial post-up weapon, but does adding him as a bench threat (at the cost of Ian Mahinmi) really fit Indiana's grand vision?
The Indiana Pacers, in what has been an otherwise quiet start to free agency, have reached agreement with Al Jefferson on a three-year, $30 million deal, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.
Jefferson, who missed 35 games due to a left calf strain, suspension, and having undergone arthroscopic surgery to address a tear in the lateral meniscus of his right knee, embraced his role as Charlotte's reserve center behind the more mobile Cody Zeller upon returning from injury on February 19 last season.
