JAMES JOHNSON NEWS

Re-signs with Indiana The Pacers re-signed Johnson on Monday.

Impact Johnson was waived by Indiana to make room for a trio of players coming over in a deal with Milwaukee ahead of the trade deadline. The Pacers have opted to bring back the veteran forward a few days later, but their roster currently sits at 17 players, meaning they'll have to make some corresponding moves to reach the 15-player threshold.
