The Indiana Pacers are signing reigning NBA champion Bruce Brown to a two-year, $45-million contract, his agents told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The deal will reportedly feature a team option in its second year, sources told ESPN's Zach Lowe.

Brown is coming off a career year in his one season with the Denver Nuggets. He averaged 11.5 points per game as a vital bench piece after signing with the team in free agency last summer.

The former second-round pick originally made his mark in the league as a defender and playmaker but has shot over 37% from deep over the last two seasons.

With up-and-coming offensive pieces Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin set to be Indiana's future in the backcourt, Brown is slated to be a connecting piece in the starting five.

The 26-year-old will look to take advantage of the increased role on a young Pacers squad as he hits the open market again in 2025.
