Both players agreed to Exhibit 10 deals, which are one year, non-guaranteed minimum salary agreements that can be converted to two-ways deals.
Mangas and McGriff played for the Pacers G League affiliate, the Indiana Mad Ants, to finish the 2023-24 campaign. The Mad Ants already own their G League rights.
