Indiana Pacers sign Pedro Bradshaw and Craig Sword

The Pacers roster is up to 20 players

The Indiana Pacers made a pair of signings on Tuesday ahead of training camp.

According to a release from the team, the Pacers have signed forward Pedro Bradshaw and guard Craig Sword. AllPacers confirmed that Sword would be signing an Exhibit 10 deal earlier in the offseason, and a league source shared with AllPacers that Bradshaw is signing an Exhibit 10 deal as well.

Sword played in three NBA games with the Washington Wizards during the 2021-22 season and averaged 2.0 points and 0.3 assists per game. His perimeter defense is his best skill. Indiana's G League affiliate team, the Mad Ants, acquired Sword's player rights two weeks ago.

Bradshaw has been in the G League for two seasons, and he spent at least part of both campaigns with the Mad Ants. Last year, he was with the Fort Wayne-based team for the entire year, and he played in 45 games. The wing averaged 9.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game while shooting over 40% from long range.

Signing Exhibit 10 contracts will give each player a financial bonus if they are waived by the Pacers and then report to the Mad Ants for at least 60 days during the season. With other reported Exhibit 10 deals coming in Indiana, including Darius McGhee and former NBA champion Jordan Bell, it is likely that both Bradshaw and Sword are waived soon.

Indiana's roster currently stands at 20 players, with the maximum being 21. They open up training camp next week in Indianapolis.
