The Indiana Pacers have an open roster spot. Here are three ways they can use it constructively.

A key NBA date is coming up – and it is one that could impact the Indiana Pacers somewhat significantly. On January 5th (Saturday), teams can begin to sign players to 10-day contracts.

These contracts are as simple as they sound – the team who signs the player gets them for 10 days on a pro-rated minimum deal. The Pacers actually did use a 10-day contract last year, if you’ll recall. They brought in Trey McKinney-Jones for a 10-day deal, but he only played 1 minute before not being brought back.

The team has an open roster spot after waiving forward Ben Moore earlier in the season. Given that 10-day contracts are about to be available to them to build up the roster, the Pacers could be a team that uses them to strengthen the squad. Let’s look at some ways, both using 10-day contracts and not, that the Pacers could use their final roster spot.
