INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers have signed Tyler Hansbrough, the former North Carolina star who was the team's top pick in the NBA draft.

The 6-foot-9 forward had been playing with the Pacers summer league team in Orlando, Fla., before his singing was announced Wednesday.

Hansbrough is the Atlantic Coast Conference's career-scoring leader and had 40 points and nine rebounds in his first two summer league games for the Pacers.

Hansbrough started in today's NBA Summer League game, scoring a game-high 24 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field and hitting all 14 free throws. He had five boards, one assist and no turnovers in 32-plus minutes of a 95-79 win over the Utah Jazz.
