Indiana Pacers sign Tyler Polley, Keisei Tominaga to Exhibit 10 contracts
The Indiana Pacers officially signed two players to training camp contracts on Thursday.
Tyler Polley, who agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the Pacers about a week ago, and Keisei Tominaga, who agreed to the same type of contract back in July, both put pen to paper with the Pacers on Thursday. Neither player has their G League rights owned by any team, so Indiana will acquire them in this transaction.
The release from the Pacers announcing the agreements says that both contracts are Exhibit 10 deals. That means both players are currently on one-year, non-guaranteed minimum contracts that can be converted to two-way deals at any time. The significantly more likely reason for the Exhibit 10 language is to give Tominaga and Polley a bonus if they report to the Pacers G League affiliate, the Indiana Mad Ants, for at least 60 days in the coming season. They could be waived early in the training camp process to get that process started.
Tominaga played his college basketball at Nebraska while Polley played at UConn. Polley has two years of professional experience in Europe — this is Tominaga’s first year as a pro.
The Pacers now have 21 players under contract, the maximum allowed for the offseason. If they want to sign another player, such as their reported agreement with Josiah-Jordan James, they will need to waive someone or trade someone away.
Media day for Indiana is on Monday, then they start training camp the following Tuesday.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
