NBA Rumors: Indiana Pacers Linked To Washington Wizards Forward

 

The Indiana Pacers are expected to be big players in the 2023 NBA off-season market, with the links to Myles Turner and Buddy Hield continuing, but now, it appears that they could pivot into being buyers with a chance of making a playoff push in the Eastern Conference.

Now, according to a recent report, the team could be in the market for a Washington Wizards star (no, not that one), with the team reportedly being one to keep an eye on for young power forward Kyle Kuzma, who's name has come up in trade talks as of late.

In 2022-23, Kuzma had a career best year as a scorer, notching 21.2 PPG, 7.2 RPG and 3.7 APG, and stepped up close to an All-Star level, and at just 27-years of age, he's got plenty more years left in him, so it would be wise for Indiana or another team to land him as he enters his prime.
