Wichita State’s Markis McDuffie will get his shot for a chance to play in the NBA.
The former Shocker standout signed a Summer League deal with the Indiana Pacers on Friday, according to the Wichita Eagle. The deal does not promise a final roster spot for McDuffie, as his performance will determine his future. The Summer League runs from July 5-15 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
McDuffie’s deal does not have a salary, as he will only play select games in July. The opportunity is a form of tryout, as team scouts for the league will be in attendance for the games.
