Indiana Pacers Sign Jahlil Okafor To A 10-Day Contract
The Indiana Pacers are taking a calculated swing with Jahlil Okafor, and it’s not just nostalgia—it’s necessity. Ranked 28th in total and offensive rebounds, the Pacers have been getting bullied on the glass. With injuries piling up in the frontcourt, Okafor’s overseas evolution makes this a fascinating move.
No longer the plodding, post-heavy center of 2015, Okafor has slimmed down, refined his footwork, and even flashed some stretch potential (41.2% from three). His 6.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game overseas hint at an all-around skill set that could quietly address Indy’s biggest weaknesses. In Rick Carlisle’s system, his short-roll passing and mid-range efficiency (57.5% in Spain) could be an underrated weapon next to Tyrese Haliburton.
Will Okafor’s revamped game translate to the NBA? Can he shore up Indy’s rebounding woes and provide valuable minutes behind Myles Turner? Let’s break down what this move really means for the Pacers.
