Injury-hit Pacers to add Robinson-Earl on hardship 10-day
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (Indiana Pacers)
November 2025
Indiana plans a 10-day hardship deal for Robinson-Earl amid a rash of injuries (Tyrese Haliburton out long-term; Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, Obi Toppin sidelined). The 6-8 forward averaged 6.3 points and 4.8 rebounds last season with New Orleans; was in Mavericks camp preseason. Expect usage as a plug-and-play small-ball four/five: screening, glass, corner threes, switchable coverage. Depth stabilizes bench lineups and protects minutes for core pieces. With Mac McClung also signed, Indiana patches playmaking and size by committee until timelines clarify for returning starters.
