Injury Woes Lead to Unlikely Signing
The Indiana Pacers have found themselves navigating a turbulent season, utilizing a staggering 22 players as injuries continue to plague their roster. This transitional period has not only tested the team’s depth but also provided unexpected opportunities for several players to make their mark.
Garrison Mathews Earns a Contract
Among those who have caught the eye of the Pacers’ front office is Garrison Mathews. Despite struggling with his shooting during his two 10-day contracts, where he managed just 32.1 percent from beyond the arc, the Pacers are opting to secure his services with a standard contract. This move marks a significant step for Mathews, who now gains a level of stability that eluded him at the start of the season.
The decision to bring Mathews on board reflects the Pacers’ strategy of solidifying their roster amidst ongoing injury challenges. As the team continues to adapt and adjust, Mathews’ extension offers a glimpse of hope and potential for both the player and the franchise moving forward.
Looking Ahead
With Mathews now officially part of the team, the Pacers are hoping he can find more consistency in his shooting and contribute to the squad’s efforts in what has been a difficult season. The front office is clearly banking on the 26-year-old to turn the tide as they aim for a more stable second half of the season.
