Kelly Oubre Jr. has agreed to a two-year contract worth nearly $17 million with the Indiana Pacers. This move brings Oubre to his fifth NBA team and signals a shift for the Pacers as they aim to rebuild. Oubre spent the last three seasons with the 76ers, developing into a reliable 3-and-D wing.

Last season, Oubre averaged 14.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, shooting a career-best 36% from three-point range. His scoring and defensive presence offer a significant boost to a Pacers squad that finished 19-63 last season after star guard Tyrese Haliburton's injury.

The Pacers are actively trying to contend again after last year's struggles. Adding Oubre, who has shown he can be a consistent contributor, follows their earlier acquisition of Ivica Zubac. This signing indicates Indiana's commitment to improving its roster for the upcoming season.
