It’s been four years since Monta Ellis stepped on an NBA court.
The Indiana Pacers still owe him $2.25 million this coming season, the last of the stretch provision they applied when they waived him and his $11.2 million salary in 2017.
“I believe I still have a lot in my tank. I can still play five years,” Ellis told Empire Sports Media on a zoom call.
Ellis was under the heat in a soccer field somewhere in Dallas, Texas, the entire zoom call. He was at the sidelines cheering for his kid in a soccer game last weekend.
