This season, though holding the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference and aiming for a deep playoff push, the Indiana Pacers rank 28th in rebounds per game. Early injuries to backup centers James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson weakened their paint presence, and despite Myles Turner’s solid performance, the team has struggled to dominate down low. To surpass the Milwaukee Bucks for the fourth seed and gain home-court advantage in the first round, the Pacers signed veteran center Tony Bradley to a 10-day contract.
Bradley, the 28th overall pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2017 NBA Draft, has played for the Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Chicago Bulls. In his latest NBA season (2022-23), he played 12 games, averaging 1.6 points and 0.9 rebounds. His best season was 2018-19, where he posted 5.7 points and five rebounds while backing up Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors on a 50-win Jazz team.

Since his last NBA stint, Bradley has played for the Texas Legends and College Park Skyhawks in the G League, where he showed solid production. The Pacers can offer him two 10-day contracts before considering a standard deal. Without an available two-way contract, Bradley must earn a spot on the everyday ro
ster.
