The Indiana Pacers have received the $5.3 million disabled player exception they applied for last week, according to the Indianapolis Star's Bob Kravitz. They were entitled to this because of Paul George's injury, which ruled him out for the entire season.
Barring a trade to clear salary-cap space, the Pacers won't use the full amount of the exception. The front office has a mandate from ownership not to enter luxury-tax territory, and Indiana is only about $1.7 million away from it.
