Duane Washington Jr. - Waived by Pacers Washington was waived by the Pacers on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact The Pacers need to clear some cap space in order to sign Deandre Ayton to a max offer sheet, so they'll accomplish that in part by parting ways with Washington, who spent last season on a two-way deal. The former Ohio State standout appeared in 48 games for Indiana, most of which came later in the season while Malcolm Brogdon, among others, was sidelined due to injury. Washington will become a free agent and look to catch on with another club prior to training camp.

Impact Mathurin made his mark on the three Summer League contests he appeared in, racking up 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The rookie will rest his toe to ensure it doesn't turn into anything worse and will likely be ready to go when training camp kicks off.

Aaron Nesmith - Scores 12 in Pacers LVSL debut Nesmith posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday's Summer League win over the Pistons.
Impact Debuting for his new team after being traded by the Celtics, Nesmith put on a two-way performance. There's room to improve for the wing, especially since he had four turnovers, but fantasy managers should expect the third-year pro to see an expanded role on the rebuilding Pacers compared to his time in Boston.
