9:00pm: Queen’s two-way contract with the Pacers is official, per NBA.com’s transaction log.
4:43pm: Guard Trevelin Queen is signing a two-way contract with the Pacers, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets.
It’s a quick turnaround for Queen, who was just waived by the Sixers over the weekend.
The 25-year-old shooting guard had a two-year, minimum-salary contract with a $330K guarantee for the upcoming season. He was named G League MVP with Rio Grande Valley last season and appeared in 10 games with the Rockets after signing a two-way contract in December.
The Pacers have an open two-way slot, so they won’t have to make a corresponding move. Kendall Brown holds the other two-way contract.
Thought it was a mistake by philly to cut him. Not sure what kind of playing time he can get in Indiana though, with a bunch of guys at those positions, although I think he is a better defender than a lot of them
There was no room in Philly for him, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve a shot. I’m not sure he can carve out a niche role in the Association but this seems like a decent landing spot for him to find out. Hoping it goes well for him.
There could have been room, but they unnecessarily picked up Harrell right before training camp
