Pacers forward and restricted free agent Obi Toppin plans to sign a four-year, $60-million contract to stay in Indiana, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Pacers acquired Toppin for two second-round picks last offseason.

The 26-year-old averaged 10.3 points and 3.9 rebounds while playing in all 82 games this past season. Toppin greatly improved his 3-point shooting with the Pacers, averaging a career-best 40.3% from deep.

Toppin was also a vital piece to Indiana's run to the Eastern Conference finals, adding speed and athleticism to a lineup that played quickly.

Indiana has reportedly already re-signed Pascal Siakam to a four-year, $189.5-million maximum contract.

The Pacers are well stocked at the forward position, as Toppin joins Siakam, Aaron Nesmith, Isaiah Jackson, and Jarace Walker, the team's No. 8 pick from the 2023 draft.

Indiana selected three players in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, choosing Kansas' Johnny Furphy, UConn point guard Tristen Newton, and Akron's Enrique Freeman.

The Pacers now have 12 players under contract and are $6.4 million below the luxury tax, according to Spotrac's Keith Smith.
