INDIANA, U.S.A. – Buddy Hield has been the subject of trade rumors all season long and those rumors came to fruition just ahead of the NBA trade deadline.

In a move that could shift the balance of power in the eastern conference, Hield was dealt from the Indiana Pacers to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Furkman Korkmaz, Marcus Morris, and three second-round picks.

In 52 games this season, the Pacers relegated the 31-year-old veteran guard to a reserve role. He averaged 12 points in just over 26 minutes per game, both, his lowest totals since the 2017-18 season.

Hield took time out from packing boxes to share his expectations on the new journey with the 10YS team.
