Good work by the Pacers reaching agreement with Andrew Nembhard on a contract extension. He could have pushed the decision to next summer, but now he’ll be under contract through the 2027-28 season.
And his sole focus can truly be on Team Canada and winning an Olympic medal. – 9:56 AM

Andrew Nembhard becomes the 24th player (9th this offseason) to sign a veteran extension since the new CBA started last July.
