Veteran center Tristan Thompson scored a season-high 17 points last night in a Pacers win … and what was his final game with the team.

Say whatever you want about Tristan Thompson’s four-game stint with the #Pacers, but one thing is for certain: He’ll always be attached to the first win of a new era in Indiana.

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: The Chicago Bulls are waiving forward Alfonzo McKinnie, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The move creates roster space for signing of Tristan Thompson. McKinnie played 17 games for Bulls this season – and now will be playoff-eligible to join a new team. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / February 19, 2022
Keith Smith: Tristan Thompson gave up $774,289 in his buyout with the Indiana Pacers. That’s roughly the amount Thompson should recoup when he signs a prorated veteran minimum deal with the Chicago Bulls for the remainder of the season. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / February 18, 2022
The Indiana Pacers announced today they have waived Tristan Thompson. The Pacers roster currently stands at 16. -via NBA.com / February 17, 2022
