Pacers sign center to second short-term deal

Tony Bradley's 10-day contract with the Pacers expired Saturday, but he's set to return on a second 10-day deal, after which Indiana would need a standard contract to keep him.

Tony Bradley's brief stint with the Indiana Pacers isn't over yet. His 10-day contract expired following Saturday's game, but coach Rick Carlisle confirmed that Bradley will be signed to another 10-day deal.

Indiana Pacers / Schedule

Bradley started the season on Indiana's roster but was waived on January 5 before his $2.9 million salary became fully guaranteed. Just three days later, he returned on a 10-day contract.

Since rejoining the team, Bradley has appeared in six games, logging at least 15 minutes in four of them. He had a strong performance on Saturday against Detroit, finishing with 12 points and three rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting in a loss.

In limited minutes this season, Bradley is shooting an efficient 57.8% from the floor and had been averaging 3.8 points and 2.8 rebounds per game off the bench going into Saturday's matchup.

NBA rules allow players to sign only two 10-day contracts with the same team in a season. If Indiana wants to keep Bradley beyond that, he would need to be signed to a standard contract.
