The Indiana Pacers have re-signed Justin Holiday to a contract.
According to the Indianapolis Star, the deal is “three years for $18.8 million — fully guaranteed.”
Holiday, a 6-6, 181 pound guard/forward, was the only Pacers player to appear in all 73 regular season games during the 2019-20 season and averaged 8.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and a team-best 1.2 steals per game in his first year in Indiana. He shot a career-best 40.5 percent from 3-point range and ranked 19th in the NBA in that category during the regular season.
“Re-signing Justin was one of our main priorities going into free agency,” said President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard. “His contributions last season were tremendous. He can play multiple positions and is extremely versatile. He also represents this franchise as a true professional, on and off the court.”
More from the Star: Holiday “made $4.76 million last season with the Pacers, who were expecting competition from the New York Knicks for his services.”
Holiday has averaged 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steal per game over seven NBA seasons with the Pacers, Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers.
