The Pacers exercised Walker's third-year option for the 2025-26 season Friday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
The No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft will earn $6.67 million in the third season of his rookie deal. He saw limited playing time as a rookie last season, averaging 3.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 10.3 minutes across 33 games. While Walker has shown potential, Obi Toppin continues to be an obstacle for the 21-year-old forward to receive consistent bench minutes in Indiana's frontcourt rotation.
