Nik Stauskas
Player News
The Timberwolves have acquired Nik Stauskas's G-League rights, via their affiliate the Iowa Wolves.
Stauskas finished last season with Boston before being traded to Indiana this off-season for Malcolm Brogdon. He was immediately waived, and then joined the College Park Skyhawks. The Wolves acquired his rights in exchange for the rights to Chris Silva, who will join the Hawks in training camp. Stauskas won't be fantasy relevant this season.
The Pacers will use the "waive and stretch" provision on Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts, and Juwan Morgan.
The Pacers recently agreed (verbally) with Deandre Ayton on an offer sheet worth $133 million over four years, so the front office has to free up cap space to sign him. Stauskas, Fitts, and Morgan were all acquired from the Celtics in the Malcolm Brogdon trade, and they were unlikely to log rotation minutes if the Pacers decided to hold onto them.
The Pacers acquired Nik Stauskas as part of Friday's deal sending Malcolm Brogdon to Boston.
Stauskas has a non-guaranteed $2.1 million salary for 2022-23, so there's a good chance he never dons a Pacers uniform.
Nik Stauskas (right ankle sprain) will not play in Sunday’s finale against the Grizzlies.
Nothing to see here, folks.
