The Indiana Pacers are reportedly planning to waive guard Monté Morris, according to sources. Since signing with the Pacers on November 6, Morris has struggled to secure significant playing time, averaging only 10.8 minutes per game. With a limited role in recent matchups, the team appears to be moving in a different direction to make room on the roster.

The Indiana Pacers have signed Monté Morris after waiving Mac McClung, as reported by Shams Charania of ESPN. Dealing with numerous backcourt injuries, the Pacers had initially brought in McClung, but now shift focus to the veteran Morris, who was previously on their radar. While Morris is expected to assume a role in the lineup, his inconsistent production may limit his value for fantasy managers.

In a recent statement, Pacers GM Chad Buchanan confirmed the team will not be signing Monté Morris due to a calf injury that will keep him sidelined for several weeks. The Pacers had considered adding Morris on a non-guaranteed contract but will now explore other reserve guard options to address their roster needs.

Monté Morris has signed a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with the Indiana Pacers. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined for the season, Morris aims to secure a spot as a backup, providing depth behind Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell. Despite his potential contribution, Morris’s impact in fantasy basketball may remain limited due to his expected role.
