The Trail Blazers have claimed former Pacers big man Micah Potter off the waiver wire, according to the NBA’s official transaction log. Indiana released Potter on Wednesday to make room beneath its first-apron hard cap to sign veteran forward/center Larry Nance Jr. Since Potter is on a minimum-salary contract, any team with enough cap room had the ability to place a claim on him using the minimum salary exception. The Blazers chose to take a closer look at Potter as a floor-spacing depth option in the middle. Of the 14 players currently on the standard roster, Potter, Krejci and Cissoko are on non-guaranteed deals.
