Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Waived by Indiana

Stuckey (knee) was waived by the Pacers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

The Pacers had until April 10 to release Stuckey before his player option for next season would have kicked in, and the team will take the opportunity to not only save some money, but also to potentially add a healthy player to the roster for the final couple weeks of the regular season. Stuckey, who was diagnosed with a left patellar strain Tuesday and ruled out for four-to-six weeks, will now turn his focus to rehabbing in hopes of landing a new contract this offseason. The 30-year-old will conclude the injury-plagued season having appeared in only 39 games, posting averages of 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 17.8 minutes per game.
