Hield, 30, is in the final year of contract
worth $19.2 million and is open to a trade, though no deal is
imminent, according to the report.
He started 73 of 80 games last season for the Pacers, averaging
16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals. He shot
42.5 percent from 3-point range (288 of 677) and has made more
shots from distance (1,381) in the last five seasons than any
player in the NBA.
Potentially one of the top free agents after next season, the
6-foot-4 Hield had signed a four-year, $94 million extension
when he was with the Sacramento Kings in 2019, according to
reports.
The Kings traded Hield, Tyrese Haliburton and Tristan Thompson
to the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 8, 2022 for Justin Holiday, Jeremy
Lamb, Domantas Sabonis and a 2023 second-round draft pick which
became forward Jordan Walsh of Arkansas.
Hield was the sixth pick of the 2016 NBA Draft by the New
Orleans Pelicans out of Oklahoma. He was dealt to the Kings in
February 2017. For his career, Hield averages 16.1 points, 4.4
rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 548 games (369 starts).
