The Pacers are ready to make a clean roster move to bolster their backcourt by adding a veteran point guard and releasing Chase Budinger.
The Indiana Pacers stood pat at the trade deadline but are now ready to make a roster move that will add a veteran point guard in Ty Lawson, as reported by Shams Charania of The Vertical. To make room for Lawson the Pacers will reportedly waive Chase Budinger,
Budinger was the subject of trade rumors prior to the deadline as the Pacers were trying to let him find a better situation with more playing time after he failed to earn a regular role with the Pacers.
