The Indiana Pacers have acquired forward Jeremy Evans and cash from the Dallas Mavericks, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.
Evans, who won the 2012 Slam Dunk Contest, averaged 2.4 points and 1.8 rebounds on 54 percent shooting in 30 games played last season with the Mavericks.
Shedding the 28-year-old's $1.2 million salary owed to him in 2016-17 will free up the cap space the Mavericks need to re-sign Dirk Nowitzki to a two-year, $40 million contract. Meanwhile, Indiana's move to add emergency depth and athleticism at the forward position puts their roster at one name shy of the 15-player maximum, with second-round draft pick Georges Niang still not officially added to the mix.
