Garrison Mathews has secured a standard deal with Indiana

The Indiana Pacers have officially decided to promote guard Garrison Mathews, rewarding him with a standard NBA contract following his audition. Mathews recently appeared in nine contests for the franchise while playing under two consecutive ten-day deals, recording solid statistical numbers during that span. He averaged 4.8 points per game while playing 13.7 minutes each night. Before joining Indiana, Mathews had spent his previous two NBA seasons playing for the Atlanta Hawks organization.

To successfully create the necessary roster spot for this specific signing, Indiana chose to waive Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. This move effectively ends his stint with the Pacers, where he contributed averages of 4.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 17.6 minutes across seventeen total appearances. The team has finalized this roster adjustment to keep Mathews for the entire year.
