The Indiana Pacers are reportedly locking up a critical piece on their roster by guaranteeing forward’s Bojan Bogdanovic’s $10.5 million deal for next season, according to Yahoo! Sports Shams Charania.

Bogdanovic during his first season with the Pacers averaged 14.1 points and 3.4 rebounds in 80 games. The 6-foot-8 Croatian, who played in Brooklyn and Washington before joining the Pacers, also shot 40.2 percent from three-point range.

Earlier in the week, the team announced it would not exercise the option for forward Lance Stephenson.
