The Indiana Pacers have come to an agreement with the Philadelphia 76ers two-way small forward, Kelly Oubre Jr. 

According to reports from Shams Charania of ESPN and Kelly Iko of Yahoo! Sports, the deal is worth $17M over the next two seasons. This puts the average annual salary at $8.5M per year and gets the Indiana Pacers a much needed wing off the bench, that shows flashes of good defense, strong cutting, and a good level of physicality, specifically when driving the ball. 

In 2024, Kelly Oubre Jr. signed a 2 year, $16,365,150 contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, all of it was guaranteed, and it was an average annual salary of $8,182,575 per season. The Pacers deal with the versatile wing is similar in salary, but a slight increase in pay.

Last season for the 76ers, Kelly Oubre Jr. started  in 41 of the 50 games he appeared in. He averaged 14 points, 5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He had solid shooting splits of 46.7% from the field, 36.0% from the three-point area, and 76.6% from the free throw line.
