The Indiana Pacers have a new point guard (Jeff Teague), new faces in the frontcourt (Al Jefferson and Thaddeus Young) to go along with a core that features All-Star Paul George, scoring guard Monta Ellis and young big man Myles Turner. The Pacers have apparently added another name to that mix in former Knicks big man Kevin Seraphin, who agreed to a deal with Indiana last night. Shams Charania of The Vertical has more:
Free agent Kevin Seraphin has agreed to a two-year, $3.6 million deal with the Indiana Pacers, league sources told The Vertical.
Seraphin visited the Pacers for workouts on Monday and Tuesday, and his agent, Bouna Ndiaye, finalized the agreement on Thursday night. Seraphin is expected to formally sign next week and the deal will include a team option in the second season, sources said.
Seraphin, a skilled 6-foot-10 center/forward, gives the Pacers depth in the frontcourt. The Pacers sought a big man before training camp and are expecting Seraphin to provide scoring and energy behind second-year center Myles Turner and free-agent acquisition Al Jefferson.
