Pacers to Sign Alex Len After Waivers

The Indiana Pacers plan to sign center Alex Len after he clears waivers from the Washington Wizards, according to multiple reports. Len, a 31-year-old veteran, was recently traded from the Sacramento Kings to the Wizards in a three-team deal involving Marcus Smart. The Pacers, currently fourth in the Eastern Conference, seek to bolster their frontcourt depth following injuries to key centers earlier in the season. Len's signing aims to address this need as he provides an additional interior presence alongside Myles Turner and Thomas Bryant. Although Len's recent performance with the Kings was modest, with averages of 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds over 36 games, his previous experience with Pacers' guard Tyrese Haliburton in Sacramento adds value. The move reflects Indiana's strategic efforts to maintain their competitive edge as they aim for a successful playoff run.
