INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers have been busy at the NBA trade deadline.
Indiana acquired Marcus Morris Jr. and Furkan Korkmaz from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Buddy Hield and three second-round draft picks early in the day.
By mid-afternoon, the Pacers made another move. This time, sending a future second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for Doug McDermott. McDermott joins the Pacers for his second stint in Indiana, having played for the team between 2018 and 2021.
Both of those trades were reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Locked On Pacers host Tony East reported shortly after the McDermott trade was announced that the Pacers had also struck a deal with the Golden State Warriors to send the worst of the three second-round picks to the Warriors in exchange for Cory Joseph, a second-round pick acquired from the Charlotte Hornets and $5.8 million in cash.
The Pacers waived Joseph less than an hour after finalizing the trade.
An hour after Indiana placed Cory Joseph on waivers, Wojnarowski reported that the Pacers had also waived Furkan Korkmaz, who was acquired from Philadelphia in the Buddy Hield trade.
