Micah Potter Rumors

Potter had a better season in 2025/26 than Nance did, averaging 9.7 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per game with a .515/.423/.842 shooting line while Nance averaged just 3.7 PPG and 2.7 RPG in 12.8 MPG and battled injuries. However, the Pacers valued Nance’s defensive versatility and veteran know-how, according to Buchanan, who said the 33-year-old was Indiana’s “best option that was gettable” among this summer’s frontcourt free agents. “I think our coaches felt really comfortable with his basketball IQ, his experience, and just his personality felt like a really good fit with our locker room as well,” the Pacers’ GM said. “Larry really had targeted us, wanted to be here with the Pacers and I think he’s very motivated to have a bounce-back season. I think he would be the first to admit that last year didn’t go the way he hoped it would. He’s very motivated to come in and fit in and play well for us this season.”
