The Indiana Pacers released rookie Josiah-Jordan James shortly after signing him to an Exhibit 10 contract on Sunday. The agreement, frequently seen in the NBA, typically links players more closely to a team’s G League affiliate than its primary roster. This move signifies that James, a newcomer from Tennessee, now has his G League rights owned by the Indiana Mad Ants.

James’ Path to the G League

James took part in pre-draft training sessions for the Pacers and competed in the summer league, where he maintained an average of 1.0 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. While he didn’t make the main roster after his summer league showing, his athleticism and college background (scoring 10.3 points per game at Tennessee) make him a great fit for the Mad Ants. This decision enables him to enhance his abilities in the G League.

Pacers’ G League Team Takes Shape

James is accompanied in this transition. The Pacers have both signed and released additional players this summer on contracts that are comparable, such as Cameron McGriff, Kyle Mangas, Dakota Mathias, Keisei Tominaga, and Tyler Polley. Indiana’s G League team is starting to establish a strong foundation in preparation for the upcoming season.

Pacers Roster Update

Following Josiah-Jordan James’ departure, the Pacers’ roster now consists of 19 players. During the offseason, NBA teams are allowed to have a maximum of 21 players on their roster, giving Indiana the opportunity to potentially add two more players. While preparing for training camp, the Pacers are finalizing their roster for both the main team and the Mad Ants.
