UPDATED: Monta Ellis contract temporarily voided by NBA
Zach Lowe from Grantland with the reporting:
Cap minutia: league has temporarily disallowed Monta Ellis’s contract w/ Pacers; team ran out of room, just has to re-order transactions.

Myles Turner: Summer League Recap
The Orlando Summer League ended over a week ago, but the Pacers draft pick performances deserve recognition and analysis. While the Pacers squad only won a single game of their five in total, Myles Turner and Joseph Young were two of the top three scorers at Orlando, and each were named to NBA TV’s All-Tournament Team along with Russ Smith of the Grizzlies, Aaron Gordon of the Magic, and Stanley Johnson of the Pistons. Here’s a look at the stats for the Pacers picks:
Myles Turner: 18.7 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 4.3 BPG, 61% FG in 3 games
Joe Young: 22.5 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 3.3 APG, 51% FG in 4 games
I’ll talk more about Joe Young in my next post (EDIT: Available now), but here’s some analysis on Mr. Turner:
