Indianapolis Strip Clubs: Pacers waive PG Tinsley; re-sign McRoberts
Tinsley was owed $14.7 million over the next two years. The team did not release details of the resolution and says it will have no further comment.
Tinsley has been with Indiana since 2001-02, and was hampered by injuries and legal problems in recent years. The Pacers told him not to report to training camp last season, and did not allow him to play.
“Jamaal is happy to be moving on,” Tinsley’s agent, Raymond Brothers, told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. “He’s sorry it didn’t work out for the Pacers. He appreciates the opportunity he had there. He’s looking forward to turning over a new chapter in his life, starting over and carrying on with his career.”
Tinsley was connected with three late-night conflicts in a 14-month span.
He was there when Stephen Jackson fired several shots into the air before being hit by a car at an Indianapolis strip club in October 2006.
