Veteran center Daniel Theis and the Indiana Pacers reportedly agreed to a contract buyout. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Theis intends to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he clears waivers.

Theis played only one game for the Pacers in 2023-24, spending eight minutes on the court and scoring two points. The 31-year-old German international was in the final year of his contract with Indiana and was set to earn $9.1 million this season. 

The Clippers were in need of frontcourt depth after seeing their backup center Mason Plumlee go down with a knee injury. This left starter Ivica Zubac as the only true center on the roster. Plumlee is expected to miss at least two months while recovering.

Daniel Theis should help the Clippers be more physical under the glass and open more bench units they can utilize when their starters are resting. He is averaging 7.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game since making his debut in the NBA in 2017-18. Prior to Indiana, Theis had stints with the Boston Celtics, the Chicago Bulls, and the Houston Rockets.

The Clippers have been struggling as of late, losing six straight games and owning a 3-7 record to start the season.

The Boston Celtics confirmed on social media on Wednesday that their starting center Daniel Theis underwent a successful procedure on his left knee.

Theis is expected to make full recovery, and the Celtics believe the 28-year-old German will be a full participant once the training camp kicks off.

While Boston remains optimistic about Theis, it is important to note that this is the same knee he had surgery on back in 2018. He repaired lateral meniscus at the time and was forced to miss the remainder of the season.

Daniel Theis emerged as an important player for the Celtics in 2019/20, starting 64 games. He finished the regular season with career-highs all across the board, averaging 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 24.1 minutes per game.

Theis, who has been with Celtics since 2017, was also productive in the playoffs where he had 8.9 points and 7.1 rebounds.

Before he arrived in NBA, Theis played for Brose Bamberg in native Germany. He won three consecutive German titles with Bamberg between 2015 and 2017 while winning German League Most Effective German Player award in 2016.
