The Indiana Pacers are looking to trade swingman Chase Budinger, reports Candace Buckner of the IndyStar.
Playing time has become scarce since Paul George settled into the small forward spot. The team is working in conjunction with Budinger's agent to find a new home for the 27-year-old.
After opening the season as a spot-up wing off the bench, Budinger has sat out 12 games since the start of January.
On the season, Budinger is averaging 4.5 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 29.5 percent from deep and 40.7 percent from the field.
The Pacers acquired Budinger in an offseason swap with the Minnesota Timberwolves for Damjan Rudez.
