Apparently not guaranteed and it's early so we can carry 20 players in preseason.

[The Indiana Pacers and Monte Morris have agreed to a one-year, non-guaranteed deal, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. Morris averaged 5.2 points in 45 games for the Phoenix Suns last season.

Exhibit 9 is injury protection, so even if he tears an Achilles or something, his contract is still not gtd until he returns to health, as we saw last year with Wiseman.

Exhibit 9 deal per league source. Combo guard 6’5” 185 lbs. 33 years old and last season played 40 games between Bucks and Knicks shooting 43% from 2 for 3 points per game plus 2 assists per.

9-10 years of NBA experience is a plus but I would hope that the Pacers could find a better option if they plan to cut Bradley to roster another guard or go with Quenton until maybe a team cuts a guard due to roster crunch after league wide training camps.

Chad pretty clearly said training camp competition will determine 15th spot.

Yup. Delon Wright and Tony Bradley are 0% guaranteed, while Wiseman has $1m gtd until 1/10/26. I would imagine those 3 are competing for 2 possible spots? If Jackson and Wiseman are showing to be healthy enough to play every night, probably a tough road for Bradley to a spot? If QJax/RayJ/Kam show ready for some minutes at the 1, maybe a tough road for Wright to a spot?

Could always maybe even see a waiver claim at some point during camp? Or they might choose to leave the 15th spot empty? Or, if Monte Morris returns to health, maybe they swap back, if Delon hasn't earned a spot?

Lots up in the air, and no guarantee that whomever makes opening night will be there all season?
