Indiana Pacers veteran guard T.J. McConnell was not waived prior to the end of June 28, so his contract is fully guaranteed for the 2024-25 season.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers did not waive point guard T.J. McConnell prior to June 28, and with the calendar now rolling to June 29, the veteran point guard has a fully guaranteed contract for the 2024-25 season.
But there was no sense in doing so. $4.3 million in savings is nothing compared to the value McConnell has on the hardwood — if anything he is underpaid at $9.3 million — and the Pacers are over the salary cap anyway. They would have gained little to no flexibility with the savings. "I don't know, I try not to focus on stuff like that," McConnell said of having a career year at his age. "Just the team success, really just getting back to the playoffs. That was the goal for us. Just tried to contribute in any way I could."
that the Pacers would like to add years on to McConnell's deal this summer, and he is eligible for a longer contract starting on July 6.
