The Pacers waived Wiseman on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Wiseman signed a 10-day contract back on Dec. 20, so he won't finish out his short-term deal. He made a total of three appearances during this stint, totaling 37 minutes.

Wiseman signed a 10-day contract with the Pacers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wiseman was waived by the Pacers in late October, but he'll rejoin the team on a 10-day deal. Per Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, head coach Rick Carlisle said Wiseman's signing was a result of Tony Bradley's (finger) injury. However, Carlisle acknowledged that Wiseman isn't currently in NBA game shape, which doesn't bode well for the 24-year-old center.

The Pacers waived Wiseman on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

After tearing his Achilles in Indiana's 2024-25 regular-season opener, Wiseman was traded to the Raptors in February before being waived. The big man re-signed with the Pacers in July, though he'll now have to explore other opportunities. In a corresponding move, the Pacers signed Mac McClung to bolster their banged-up backcourt.

Wiseman will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wiseman started in his season debut Saturday, but he will retreat to a bench role Sunday. He still figures to see a sizable role backing up Jay Huff and Isaiah Jackson.

Wiseman provided four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds and one block across 20 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

After not playing during Indiana's season opener, Wiseman started and played 20 minutes in their loss to Memphis on Saturday. Four Pacers centers received minutes in the blowout defeat, and that trend could certainly continue in their road matchup against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Wiseman will start in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

After not seeing the court in Thursday's season-opening double-overtime loss to the Thunder, Wiseman will join the starting five. As a result, Isaiah Jackson will come off the bench.

Wiseman didn't play during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City due to a coach's decision.

EDGE Analysis

Isaiah Jackson started the regular-season opener at center and played only eight minutes. Tony Bradley played 10 minutes off the bench at center, while Jay Huff saw 12. Head coach Rick Carlisle instead elected to roll with a ton of small-ball lineups, featuring Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker at the five. Both Toppin and Walker excelled in those roles, but it may have been a matchup-based decision.

Wiseman had 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds in 12 minutes during Saturday's preseason win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Wiseman turned in a solid performance despite limited playing time. With Isaiah Jackson and Jay Huff seemingly battling for the bulk of the center minutes, Wiseman may have to bide his time on the bench to begin the season. Coming off a season-ending Achilles injury, Wiseman will once again be looking to restart his career. While he figures to be more of a depth piece to begin the campaign, it wouldn't be surprising to see him shift into a meaningful role at some point throughout the season.

Wiseman (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wiseman will return to game action for Indiana's preseason opener after tearing his left Achilles tendon in the 2024-25 regular-season opener.

EDGE Analysis

After tearing his left Achilles in the 2024-25 regular-season opener, Wiseman appears to be on track to return during the preseason. The 24-year-old center has an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role for the Pacers in the 2025-26 campaign, competing for playing time with Isaiah Jackson (Achilles), Jay Huff and Tony Bradley.
