DONE DEAL: T.J. McConnell Re-Signs with Indiana Pacers on 4-Year, $68.36 Million Deal
In a bold move to reinforce their core, the Indiana Pacers have officially re-signed veteran point guard T.J. McConnell to a 4-year contract worth $68,364,000. The deal includes a guaranteed sum of $55 million, securing McConnell’s presence as the team’s new general floor leader. This contract marks a significant vote of confidence in the 32-year-old guard, who has been an integral part of the Pacers’ locker room and culture since joining in 2019.
Known for his relentless energy, court vision, and leadership on both ends of the floor, McConnell is expected to step into an even more prominent role, guiding a youthful Pacers squad led by All-Star Tyrese Haliburton. With his ability to control tempo, rack up assists, and be a pest on defense, McConnell is seen as the ideal stabilizer and mentor as Indiana looks to build on their recent Eastern Conference Finals appearance.
Pacers President Kevin Pritchard stated, “T.J. embodies everything we want in a Pacer—grit, leadership, and a team-first mentality.” With this move, Indiana sends a strong message: they’re committed to continuity, chemistry, and chasing a championship.
