Indiana Pacers Announce 2 Roster Moves
The Indiana Pacers are coming off an excellent season where they made the Eastern Conference finals for the first since 2014.
They will be one of the most watched teams heading into the 2024-25 NBA season.
On Friday evening, the team made the announcement that they have signed two players to Exhibit 10 deals.
Via The Indiana Pacers: “We have signed guard Kyle Mangas and forward Cameron McGriff to Exhibit 10 contracts.”

McGriff played his college basketball for Oklahoma State.
He appeared in three NBA games with the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2021-22 season.
In that span, the 26-year-old averaged 4.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest while shooting 35.7% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range.
Meanwhile, Mangas has yet to appear in an NBA game.
Last year (in the G League), he averaged 17.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 46.5% from the field and 36.3% from the three-point range in 34 regular season games (28 starts).

Both players will probably spend training camp with the Pacers, but it’s highly unlikely that they will make the 15-man roster.
That said, they could be candidates to land a two-way (or 10-day) contract with the team at some point.

And credit the team for announcing it as such. More clarity for fans, the better.

The Pacers finished last season as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 47-35 record.
They made the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season and have a very talented roster led by Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam.
Indiana Governor Mike Braun will join locked-out union members at the BP Whiting refinery on Tuesday morning.
Union leaders said that Braun will meet with workers picketing outside the company’s main offices in the 2800 block of Indianapolis Boulevard.
This comes after hundreds of workers were locked out of the BP refinery on March 19 after contract negotiations failed to produce a deal ahead of a midnight deadline. Since then, workers have been walking the picket lines.Â
Union leaders said negotiations have stalled for months, and are accusing BP of rejecting their proposals on jobs, pay, and safety. Union members said they are prepared to stay out on the picket lines 24/7 until there is movement at the bargaining table.
BP said it has made a comprehensive offer, and plans to continue operating the refinery with trained staff, adding that it does not expect disruptions to production. Â Â
The Whiting refinery is BP’s largest refinery in the world, producing 440,000 barrels a day. It is located less than 20 miles from downtown Chicago.
Braun is expected to join the union members around 9:15 p.m.

ABC pulls upcoming ‘Bachelorette’ season. Here’s what to know
A Carmel man and former Purdue basketball player was set to compete on this season that won’t air.
Should ABC air the canceled-for-now season of “The Bachelorette”? A Carmel man who was set to compete on it seems to think so.
Matt Carroll, a 43-year-old Purdue basketball alum and Carmel resident, took to social media over the weekend to address the cancelation of season 22 of “The Bachelorette,” on which he appeared. Public opinion on whether the show should see the light of day is split, but the former Boilermaker forward and industrial real estate broker hopes the footage makes it to air.
Disney and ABC pulled season 22 of “The Bachelorette” because its lead, “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul, faces an ongoing domestic violence investigations. The network announced the decision March 19 after TMZ leaked a video from a 2023 domestic violence incident involving Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen.
Neither Carroll nor the show have officially commented on the cancelation, but that doesn’t mean he and other contestants haven’t hinted at their feelings on social media.
Carroll’s Instagram reel — in which he struts through the streets of Carmel, rose in hand, RAYE’s “Where the Hell is My Husband” soundtracking it all — breaks the ice. “So…about that,” he joked, tagging both “The Bachelorette” and Bachelor Nation, the franchise’s official hub for news and content.
The reel has garnered comments from fellow Carmel residents wishing Carroll well, even offering to set him up with local singles. Notably, though, some of Carroll’s followers have called for the season to air — and he agrees.
“Trying to manifest that they still air this,” one comment from model Brittany Mason reads. “America wants it the world wants it!”
“From your lips to God’s ears,” Carroll replied.
Another response from him put it more plainly:
“I’m still hoping they decide to air it.”
Whether “The Bachelorette” will air is unclear. Disney Entertainment Television’s official statement only indicated that it was halting the season “for now,” so it’s possible the network could dust off the footage and air it after all.
