According to Tony East of SI.com, the Indiana Pacers have submitted a qualifying offer to forwardObi Toppin, making him a restricted free agent. Toppin is coming off a solid postseason, during which he suited up for 17 games and averaged 20.2 minutes, 10.9 points, and 4.4 rebounds, helping the Pacers reach the Eastern Conference Finals. During the regular season, he was a part of one of the best benches, as Indiana was the highest-scoring second unit in the league.
Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin had a prolific outing in Game 2 against the Knicks on Wednesday, finishing a 130-121 loss with 20 points. He scored a point per minute off the bench, shooting 7-for-10 from the field with a 2-for-4 effort from behind the arc. Toppin also notched three rebounds, one assist, and one steal. The Pacers are struggling in the series, but Toppin has enjoyed the battle against his former team. He has shot a very impressive 70.6 percent through the first two games, averaging 16.0 points with 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Game 3 gives Toppin a chance to make it three 20-point efforts in four games.
Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Toppin injured his left ankle against the Cavs and could not return to the contest. Before suffering the ankle injury, Toppin had logged 10 points, two rebounds, six assists, one block, and two steals in 16 minutes on the court. The Pacers are pretty roughed up right now, and we could see Jarace Walker get a shot at some rotation minutes if Toppin is unable to suit up.
