Pacers
The Pacers have added another experienced wing.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Indiana has agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract with free-agent forward Kelly Oubre Jr. Yahoo Sports’ Kelly Iko reported the deal is fully guaranteed.
Oubre spent the past three seasons with the 76ers, averaging at least 14 points and five rebounds in each campaign while developing into one of Philadelphia’s most dependable two-way players.
The 29-year-old also posted a career-best 36.0 percent from three-point range last season.
Indiana had been viewed as one of Oubre’s strongest suitors after free agency opened, with reports indicating the Pacers valued his athleticism, defensive versatility and ability to thrive in transition alongside Tyrese Haliburton.
Magic
The Magic are bringing back one of their longest-tenured players.
According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel, Jonathan Isaac has agreed to a one-year contract to remain in Orlando.
Isaac was waived over the weekend, allowing the Magic to create additional financial flexibility before free agency. The savings helped Orlando complete deals for Nikola Vucevic and Jevon Carter while remaining below the NBA’s second tax apron.
The former No. 6 overall pick has battled injuries throughout his career but remains one of the league’s better defensive forwards when healthy.
He appeared in 52 games last season, averaging 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds while continuing to provide defensive energy off the bench.
Wizards
The Wizards are keeping forward Jamir Watkins in the organization.
According to the NBA’s transaction log, Washington has re-signed Watkins to a two-way contract.
The second-round pick appeared in 50 games as a rookie, averaging 7.4 points and 3.9 rebounds while earning increased playing time late in the season.
Watkins originally signed a two-way deal before eventually receiving a standard NBA contract during the 2025-26 campaign.
