This past season, the 25-year-old played 18 games for the Miami Heat, averaging 2.3 points in 4.8 minutes per game.

Swider also had a notable stint with the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the G League, where he averaged 24.9 points and 8.6 rebounds across 14 games.

The non-guaranteed deal gives Swider a chance to secure a spot on the Pacers’ final roster through training camp and preseason performances.
