INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers have acquired guard Cory Joseph from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for the draft rights of forward Emir Preldzic.
Joseph, who is 6-foot-3, averaged 9.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 25 minutes last season. He made 22 starts.
Joseph, who turns 26 next month, played in Toronto for two seasons after spending the first four years of his pro career in San Antonio.
Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard said in a release that Joseph “has been on our radar for a while.”
Preldzic has spent the last two seasons in the Turkish League.
