The Indiana Pacers are signing former No. 2 overall draft pick James Wiseman to a two-year contract, ESPN reported Tuesday.
The 23-year-old free agent center averaged 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 17.3 minutes in 63 games (six starts) last season with the Detroit Pistons.
Wiseman has career averages of 9.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in 147 games (55 starts) with the Golden State Warriors (2020-23) and Pistons.
Golden State drafted Wiseman with the No. 2 pick in 2020 and traded him to Detroit in a four-team deal on Feb. 9, 2023. The 7-footer missed the entire 2021-22 season with a knee injury.
