Pacers’ Granger off to 76ers in deadline trade
Print Edition
The Indiana Pacers, sitting atop the National Basketball Association’s Eastern Conference, obtained swingman Evan Turner from Philadelphia in exchange for Danny Granger in the biggest deal on Thursday at the league’s trade deadline.
The Pacers, who also obtained forward Lavoy Allen in the swap, also sent the 76ers a 2015 NBA Draft second-round pick in the deal.
Turner, who will be a free agent after the season, was the second selection in the 2010 NBA Draft and is averaging 17.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists this season.
Granger has spent his entire nine-year career with the Pacers, averaging 17.6 points a game.
At 41-13, the Pacers are two games ahead of the Miami Heat for the best record in the East.
Other East teams fighting for playoff position despite losing records made moves to tweak their roster as well.
The Atlanta Hawks (25-28) obtained veteran forward Antawn Jamison from the Los Angeles Clippers for the rights to Turkish swingman Cenk Akyol, who plays for Galatasaray in his homeland.
Jamison, in his 16th NBA season, averages 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds a game in a reserve role.
Washington (26-28) obtained veteran point guard Andre Miller from Denver in a three-team deal that saw the Wizards send Czech forward Jan Vesely to Denver and guard Eric Maynor to Philadelphia.
