Former Indiana Pacers forward and current free agent James Johnson sat with members of the Pacers roster for Pacers vs Brooklyn Nets summer league action.
LAS VEGAS — Forward James Johnson, who spent the last two seasons with the Indiana Pacers, was courtside for the Pacers first summer league battle with the Brooklyn Nets despite still being a free agent.
Just after Pacers-Nets began last Friday, Johnson entered Cox Pavilion with forwards Pascal Siakam and Obi Toppin. Toppin and Siakam have signed a contract with Indiana during this offseason, but Johnson is still a free agent.Johnson sat courtside with several current members of the Pacers, including Siakam, Toppin, James Wiseman, Isaiah Jackson, Myles Turner, and Bennedict Mathurin.
The Pacers still have an open roster spot, and while they are flirting with the luxury tax line, they could fit in a player on a one-year, minimum salary deal and still be under the luxury tax threshold. Should both Indiana and Johnson be interested in an agreement, it is feasible.
