Jeremy L.amb spent the end of his first season as a Pacer on the inactive list. What does his future hold as far as the Pacers are concerned?

The Pacers made a nice splash signing along with Malcolm Brogdon last summer when they signed Jeremy Lamb to a 3-year, $31.5 million deal. Lamb joined Indiana after playing his previous four seasons with the Charlotte Hornets. He stepped into the starting lineup for 42 of his 46 appearances for the Pacers last season.

Lamb hovered right around his career averages in his first season with the Pacers. He put up 12.5 points per game while boasting .451/.335/.836 splits. However, despite playing in a starting role thanks to the absence of Victor Oladipo in the early parts of the season, Lamb had a down year in terms of per-36. His points per 36 minutes dropped to just 16.1, his lowest total since 2013-14 and his second-lowest of his career.

After a rough season by his own standards, Lamb was lost for the back half of the season with a torn ACL. With his timetable still uncertain, the Pacers are set to enter the 2020-21 season with more question marks to their wing depth. What does the future hold for Jeremy Lamb?
