The Indiana Pacers have signed Bruce Brown to a two-year, $45 million contract, according to multiple reports. Brown, 25, is coming off a season with the Denver Nuggets in which he averaged 11.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, and was a key figure in the franchise’s first ever NBA title. He is a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions and is also a capable scorer.
Brown’s signing is a major coup for the Pacers, who are looking to improve their defense and add some depth to their backcourt.
To celebrate his payday, Brown posted a hilarious video on his Instagram of someone dancing to the Lee Brice song “Rumor.” It is Indiana after all…
