Report: Pacers waiving Rodney Stuckey

According to The Vertical’s Shams Charania, the Pacers plan to waive guard Rodney Stuckey which will also void the player option on Stuckey’s contract for next season.

The Pacers are waiving guard Rodney Stuckey, league sources tell @TheVertical. Indiana had April 10 date to release before Stuckey's option.

Prior to the game on Monday, the Pacers announced that Stuckey would be out 4-6 weeks with a patellar tendon strain in his left knee. The injury created a scenario for the Pacers to release Stuckey prior to the end of the regular season which invokes a rare provision in Stuck’s contract which Zach Lowe mention in this podcast (47 minute mark).
