James Johnson signs training camp deal with Indiana Pacers for 2026-27
Summary

James Johnson has signed a training camp contract with the Indiana Pacers, beginning this month. Johnson, a former player with Indiana from 2022 to 2026, is valued for his leadership and locker room presence, though he averaged just 1.4 points in his last full season. Known for his impact beyond the court, he has remained connected with the team even during the offseason. With the Pacers having 19 players currently, they must navigate their salary cap situation carefully, as Johnson's minimum salary cannot fit without a trade. He may have a chance to secure a contract after the season begins if circumstances allow.
