A few hours before the opening of free agency, Obi Toppin reached an agreement with the Pacers. According to ESPNthe winner of the 2022 Slam Dunk Contest will thus extend for 60 million dollars over four years!
For the former Knicks player, it's the continuation of a successful marriage to the Pacers, his style of play sticking to that of Tyrese Haliburton and company.
Because even if his defensive limitations do not necessarily make him a starter in a top-of-the-table NBA team, he is on the other hand useful, through his qualities in fast play and in the air, in relay to Pascal Siakam, who will also extend his contract.
Enough to form a very solid duo at the power forward position for the coming years in Indianapolis.
