The Indiana Pacers decided to sign Jahlil Okafor to a 10-day contract prior to the All-Star break to give them some depth at center. They needed that depth while Myles Turner was missing games due to a cervical strain in his neck.

Pacers center Jahlil Okafor's 10-day contract has expired and will not be immediately renewed, but he will return to play with the Mad Ants.
