NBA Eastern Conference champion Indiana, in need of a center after losing Myles Turner to Milwaukee, has agreed to acquire Jay Huff from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for second-round draft capital, a person with knowledge of that deal said.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity to AP because it, like most deals, cannot be finalized with league approval of terms until at least Sunday.

The 7-foot-1 Huff, who went undrafted in 2021, averaged 6.9 points in 64 games with Memphis this past season.

In a stunning move, Turner signed with the Bucks on a four-year, $107 million deal after spending the entirety of his first 10 seasons in the league with the Pacers, who lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Indiana will be Huff’s fifth NBA team after starting his career with the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2021-22 season.
