Whittington agreed to a one-year, guaranteed deal with the Pacers, Shams Charania of RealGM reports.

Analysis:

Whittington did not receive a qualifying offer from the Pacers at the end of June and proceeded to participate on their summer league team. Through two contests, he averaged 12.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in 27 minutes per game. During his rookie season, Whittington played 20 games and averaged 2.9 points in 5.4 minutes per game. With Roy Hibbert and David West's minutes available, the 6-foot-11 power forward has a chance to crack the rotation. He's trimmed down from 251 pounds to 227 pounds in anticipation of playing in an uptempo offense this season.
