Former Syracuse forward Oshae Brissett has signed a 10-day contract with the Indiana Pacers, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday night. Brissett spent the G-League season with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, which is the Pacers G-League affiliate. He was recently named All G-League Second Team. 

Brissett averaged 18.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 43.8% from the field and 33.3% from three point range in 12 games. This will be Brissett's second stint in the NBA, having spent time previously with the Toronto Raptors.

The 6-7 forward spent two seasons at Syracuse. He left after the 2018-19 season and has since spent time in the NBA with the Toronto Raptors. Brissett was released this past offseason and has been in the G-League this season.

During his time with the Orange, Brissett proved to be a quality scorer and rebounder. He struggled with offensive efficiency, however, shooting just 37.1% from the floor for his Syracuse career. He averaged 13.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game as well. Brissett started all 71 games during his two seasons. 

As a Toronto Raptor, Brissett appeared in 19 games during the shortened 2019-20 season. He was starting to carve out a reserve role with the Raptors before an injury ended his season. He signed a contract in the offseason before being cut. During those 19 games, Brissett averaged 1.9 points and 1.4 rebounds in seven minutes.

Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site.

Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market.
