Ex-Knick Obi Toppin signing $60 million contract with Pacers

Obi Toppin is staying in Indianapolis.

A year after being traded by the Knicks, the forward is re-signing with the Pacers on a four-year, $60 million contract right before NBA free agency, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Sunday afternoon .

The 26-year-old, whom the Knicks took No. 8 overall out of Dayton in the 2020 NBA Draft, made waves with his high-flying dunks during his three years at the Garden, but he was stuck playing limited minutes behind Julius Randle.

The news of Toppin’s contract comes two days after guard Immanuel Quickley, whom the Knicks also took in the 2020 first round at No. 25, agreed to a five-year, $175 million contract extension with the Raptors.

The Knicks traded Quickley and 2019 first-rounder RJ Barrett to Toronto in December as part of the trade that brought OG Anunoby to New York.

Anunoby and the Knicks agreed to a five-year, $212.5 million contract extension on Wednesday, the largest contract in team history.
