The New York Knicks will see Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell for a while.
The New York Knicks faced off in a seven-game series against the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the playoffs back in May, where point guard T.J. McConnell played an important role off the bench.
Now, the Knicks will see more of McConnell with the Pacers. According to ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pacers are signing McConnell to a four-year, $45 million contract extension, which will keep him in Indiana until the end of the 2028-29 campaign.McConnell, 32, could have just signed the last major contract of his career after nine seasons in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers and Pacers.
McConnell is coming off a career-high 10.2 points per game this past season with the Pacers, which is a big reason behind his massive extension. During the seven-game series between the Knicks and Pacers, McConnell scored in double figures five times, including a double-double in Games 2 and 4. With the Pacers trailing 3-2 after Game 5, McConnell dropped 15 points in Game 6 and 12 points in a decisive Game 7 to help clinch the series for Indiana.
With McConnell set for arguably the rest of his career, it can provide hope to other undrafted players that they can still make a living and have a long tenure in the NBA.Make sure you bookmark New York Knicks on SI for the latest news, exclusive interviews, film breakdowns and so much more!Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites.
