Indiana Pacers Sign Josiah-Jordan James

The Indiana Pacers have signed Josiah-Jordan James to an Exhibit 10 contract as they finalize their roster for the upcoming training camp and G League season. James, who went undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft, averaged 8.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in his final collegiate season at the University of Tennessee and has a prior connection with Pacers player Aaron Nesmith. In a roster shake-up, the Pacers also waived Keisei Tominaga and Tyler Polley, both signed to Exhibit 10 contracts, allowing them the chance to receive bonuses if they join the G League affiliate, the Indiana Mad Ants. Tominaga, known for his potential as a deep threat, and Polley, who played in Greece after a solid college career at UConn, were let go to open roster spots. James played in the Summer League for the Pacers, averaging modest stats, suggesting his immediate future may lie in the G League rather than the NBA roster. Overall, the Pacers are making strategic moves as they prepare for the upcoming season.
