Indiana Pacers Land Kelly Oubre Jr. on Two-Year, $17M Deal

The Indiana Pacers have reached an agreement with free-agent forward Kelly Oubre Jr. on a two-year deal worth $17 million, ESPN reported Wednesday.

Oubre, 30, spent his most recent seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he averaged more than 14.1 points and over five rebounds per game across three years with the club, starting 150 of the 178 regular-season contests he appeared in.

The veteran forward has proven himself a reliable offensive contributor, putting up double-digit scoring averages in each of his last nine NBA seasons. Over the course of 705 career games — including 352 starts — Oubre has averaged 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game. His NBA journey has taken him through the Washington Wizards (2015-18), Phoenix Suns (2018-20), Golden State Warriors (2020-21), Charlotte Hornets (2021-23) and the 76ers.

Oubre is set to join an Indiana team that is looking to get back on track after a tough turnaround. Following a trip to the NBA Finals in 2025, the Pacers struggled through an injury-riddled season that resulted in a 19-63 record.
