The Pacers have agreed to a one-year deal with swingman Deividas Sirvydis, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link). As Scotto notes (via Twitter), Sirvydis will compete for a roster spot in training camp, meaning his deal is likely either partially or non-guaranteed.
Sirvydis, 22, was the No. 37 pick in the 2019 draft. Born in Lithuania, he holds two years of NBA experience with the Pistons and most recently played summer league with the Pelicans. Scotto notes he averaged 19.7 points per game during those summer league outings.
Across his two seasons with Detroit, Sirvydis only played 23 games. He did play 21 regular-season outings in the G League this year, averaging 12.5 points per game on 45% shooting from the floor.
While terms of the agreement haven’t been released, the Pacers currently have 14 players on their 15-man roster, so Sirvydis could give the team a full roster for the time being. That count doesn’t include unsigned draft pick Kendall Brown or the team’s four Exhibit 10 players.
