Trail Blazers' Micah Potter: Claimed by Trail Blazers
Rotowire
Potter was claimed off waivers by Portland on Friday.
Potter bounced around the league before spending most of the 2025-26 campaign in Indiana. In 47 regular-season appearances with the Pacers, he averaged 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.5 steals across 19.3 minutes. It's unknown what kind of role Potter will have in Portland, though it's reasonable to assume the Trail Blazers acquired him for depth purposes.

Micah Potter: To be waived by Pacers
Rotowire
Potter will be waived by the Pacers, per Alex Golden of SI.com.
The expectation originally was that the Pacers would pick up Potter's team option, but the team has had second thoughts after signing Larry Nance earlier Wednesday. Potter's absence from Indiana's frontcourt will leave Jay Huff and Nance to battle for the backup center role behind Ivica Zubac in 2026-27.

The Wisconsin product enjoyed a career campaign in 2025-26, averaging 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.3 minutes per game over 47 appearances, and he appears to be the early favorite for the backup center role behind Ivica Zubac next year.

Pacers' Micah Potter: Posts double-double in loss
Rotowire
Potter produced 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 105-94 loss to Philadelphia.
Potter has been limited to just six starts this season, but the former Wisconsin standout is ending the season on a strong note regardless of his role. Potter has three double-doubles over his last four appearances, and he's scored in double digits in six of his last eight contests. Over that eight-game stretch, he's averaging 13.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He's a player to keep close tabs on, because he's likely to have a sizable role in Sunday's season-finale against the Pistons.

Rotowire
Potter finished Sunday's 135-118 win over the Heat with 21 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 20 minutes.
Potter was an obvious standout for the Pacers off the bench, and he continues to trend in the right direction. Over his last five games, he's averaging 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers on 63.0 percent shooting from the field in 18.5 minutes per contest.

Potter scored in single digits for the fifth straight game, during which time he has failed to play more than 20 minutes in any one contest. He remains a name to watch should Indiana opt to shut anyone starters down for the season. However, as of right now, Potter holds very little value, outside of deeper formats.
