While Jamaal Tinsley remains on the Pacers' roster, the team revealed on Wednesday that he will never represent the team again, the Associated Press is reporting.
Indiana failed in their attempts to deal the point guard this season, but still hold out hope that a trade can be made.
"Later on this summer, we'll probably go into arbitration," Larry Bird said this week. "Whether we win or lose, it's going to be the same as it is now -- we're going forward without Jamaal. Hopefully, we can trade him before it comes up, but we'll see what happens."

Pacers president Larry Bird says that the team will extend an offer to guard Jarrett Jack, which will make him a restricted free agent.
Bird also expressed his desire to re-sign forward Josh McRoberts, and to get the team under the salary cap before the collective bargaining agreement expires in 2011.
Danny Granger is the only player Indiana has that is signed beyond the 2010-11 season.
"I'm not saying we won't re-sign any of them, but it won't be the same deals. We'll have a lot of flexibility," Bird said.

Pacers president Larry Bird said in his annual postseason news conference on Tuesday that coach Jim O'Brien is safe for now.
Coaches have been getting the axe rather quickly as of late in the NBA, but Indiana is going to allow O'Brien to return despite back-to-back losing seasons.
"That's the situation Jimmy's in," Bird said, according to the Associated Press. "I think he needs an opportunity to let these guys grow."
O'Brien is entering the final year of his contract, and Bird made no indication that signing the coach to an extension will be a priority.
"I haven't really thought about that, but obviously, if Jimmy wants to talk about it, we'll do that," Bird said. "He's under contract, and we expect him to fulfill his contract."
