Monta Ellis may be looking for a new home later this month.
The Pacers and Ellis are discussing a potential buyout, according to Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star.
Ellis, who will turn 32 years old in October, is scheduled to make about $11.2 million next season.
However, he is suspended for the first five games (without pay) he is healthy enough to play -- which will cost him about $387,000, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

The Warriors traded him to the Bucks in March 2012 in exchange for Andrew Bogut.
Ellis averaged just 8.5 points per game last season -- his lowest output since he registered 6.8 points per game as a rookie.
