Pacers Release Stephan Hicks

Two days after signing him, the Pacers have waived swingman Stephan Hicks, per Scott Agness of The Athletic (Twitter link).

Hicks has spent the last several seasons playing for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, recording 15.4 PPG and 6.9 RPG in 48 games (32.6 MPG) for the team in 2018/19.

The 27-year-old is expected to return to Indiana’s G League affiliate for the 2019/20 season. His brief stint with the Pacers should ensure that he earns a bonus worth up to $50K once he spends 60 days with the Mad Ants.

The Pacers now have 17 players under contract — 15 on the standard roster and two on two-way deals.
