Nik Stauskas, $702K

Stauskas came over in the Boston trade that sent Brogdon to the Boston Celtics. However, he was cut shortly after being brought to Indiana as salary matching material.

Juwan Morgan, $576K

Juwan’s story is very similar, in that he came over as part of the Boston trade that sent Brogdon to Boston. However, Morgan was cut shortly after being brought over to the Pacers.

Malik Fitts, $555K

And finally, Malik Fitts has a similar story as well, given that he also was brought over in the Brogdon/Boston trade as salary filler to make the numbers work. He was cut from the Pacers and his salary was spread out over multiple years.

All three of these players will be getting paid by the Pacers until the start of the 25-26 season.
