Peter is averaging 1.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists on 25% shooting from the field in 11 appearances with the Pacers. He tallied a season-high five points, four assists and three rebounds on Nov. 15 in a loss to the Toronto Raptors.
The 23-year-old has been thrust into the rotation to begin the season, with the Pacers experiencing several injuries in the early going. The team has been forced to sign multiple players to the roster using a hardship exception granted by the NBA.
Peter drew praise from the Pacers throughout training camp for the way he can impact games on both ends of the court. The team will be looking to tap into his potential throughout the season, either in the G League or with the main roster.
