MIAMI — Roy Hibbert scored 29 points, David West knocked away two passes by LeBron James for huge turnovers in the final minute, and the Indiana Pacers evened the Eastern Conference finals with a 97-93 victory over the MiamiOWINGS MILLS, Md. – Strong safety Bernard Pollard has been released by the Baltimore Ravens, the latest move driven by the Super Bowl champion’s offseason salary cap purge.
Pollard, who played at South Side and Purdue, announced his departure Wednesday on Twitter, writing, “Well Ravens Nation. it’s been fun. My time in Baltimore is done.”
The 28-year-old Pollard signed a three-year extension with Baltimore last season, but his release saves the Ravens an estimated $1 million against the salary cap.
Pollard played two years with Baltimore. Last season, he had 71 tackles and an interception despite playing much of the year with six broken ribs.
He is the fifth player to leave the Ravens during the last two weeks, following guard Bobbie Williams, wide receiver Anquan Boldin and linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe.
