Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Scores 21 points in SL loss
Rotowire
Slawson finished with 21 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 28 minutes in Monday's 94-93 Summer League loss to Toronto.
Slawson scored over 20 points for the second time during Summer League. He also remained aggressive on the defensive end by recording two blocks, bringing his total to eight during his time in Las Vegas. However, Slawson has been inefficient from deep, shooting a combined 4-for-18 from downtown in his three Summer League appearances while committing nine turnovers during that span.

Pacers' Braden Smith: Dishes out nine assists in SL loss
Rotowire
Smith supplied zero points (0-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), nine assists, three rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes in Monday's 94-93 Summer League loss to the Raptors.
Smith couldn't find the bottom of the net in this one, though he was able to contribute in other areas. The rookie point guard led the Pacers in assists and has dished out at least five dimes in back-to-back games. Additionally, he has now tallied multiple steals in all three of his Las Vegas Summer League appearances thus far.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Scores 26 points in SL loss
Rotowire
Slawson supplied 26 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Saturday's 100-93 Summer League loss to the 76ers in overtime.
After shooting just 4-for-15 from the field in Friday's win over Cleveland, Slawson put together a much more efficient outing from inside the arc against Philadelphia. However, he struggled from downtown and is shooting just 3-for-14 from beyond the arc through two Las Vegas Summer League games. Still, he led all players in scoring Saturday and has tallied at least 15 points in both of his appearances this summer.

Pacers' Braden Smith: Tallies 16 points in Summer League
Rotowire
Smith recorded 16 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3PT, 6-7 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 100-93 Summer League overtime loss to the 76ers.
Smith scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half and finished as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Jalen Slawson (26 points). Smith was a second-round pick of the Bulls in the 2026 NBA Draft before being traded to the Pacers. The Purdue product will have the chance to crack Indiana's NBA roster with strong performances in the Summer League and in the preseason, though he'll likely spend most of 2026-27 in the G League.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Swats five shots in SL win
Rotowire
Slawson supplied 15 points (4-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, five blocks and one steal across 23 minutes in Friday's 99-93 Summer League win over the Cavaliers.
Slawson got off to a slow start in this one, shooting 0-for-4 from downtown in the opening quarter. While he finished with inefficient shooting splits, the 26-year-old forward stuffed the stat sheet and was still Indiana's third-leading scorer. Slawson also led all players in blocks and assists while finishing third on the Pacers in rebounds.

Rotowire
Mast produced 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 99-93 Summer League win over Cleveland.
Mast matched the team high in scoring Friday and led the Pacers in rebounding. The undrafted rookie has an Exhibit 10 deal with Indiana, and he's likely to join the G League's Noblesville Boom in 2026-27 if he doesn't make the final roster.

Pacers' Kobe Brown: Signs two-way deal with Indiana
Rotowire
The Pacers signed Brown to a two-way contract Thursday, per Tony East of Forbes.com.
Indiana acquired the forward as part of the Ivica Zubac trade this past season, and the team is bringing Brown back for the 2026-27 campaign. Brown, a 2023 first-rounder, averaged 9.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game over 27 regular-season appearances for the Pacers last year, but he figures to be a featured member of the G League's Noblesville Boom in 2026-27.

Pacers' Larry Nance: Agrees to sign with Indiana
Rotowire
Nance agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with the Pacers on Wednesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Nance is joining Indiana to help fortify its frontcourt depth. The journeyman center is set to compete with Micah Potter and Jay Huff for reserve minutes behind Ivica Zubac, though Nance's impact may be felt more as a veteran presence than as a fantasy contributor in 2026-27. He averaged a career-low 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.2 blocks in 12.8 minutes per game over 35 regular-season appearances for Cleveland last year.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Dominates in FIBA game
Rotowire
Zubac (ribs) collected 24 points (10-13 FG, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 18 minutes during Croatia's 123-50 win over Cyprus on Friday.
Zubac sat out the final stretch of the NBA regular season due to an injury to his ribs, though he's healthy now and looked dominant in FIBA competition Friday. The veteran center is set to open the new year as Indiana's top center following an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, when he averaged 14.1 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 30.1 minutes across 48 games for the Clippers and Pacers.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Efficient in win for Canada
Rotowire
Nembhard (back) produced 23 points (9-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes for Canada in Friday's 110-84 World Cup Qualifiers win over Puerto Rico.
Nembhard missed the final seven games of the 2025-26 regular season with a lingering back issue, but the Pacers were likely being extremely cautious. He finished the campaign averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 31.3 minutes. In 2026-27, he'll likely be utilized off the ball more with the return of Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles).
Oubre agreed to a two-year deal worth nearly $17 million to sign with the Pacers on Wednesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
After spending the past three years with the 76ers, Oubre is heading to Indiana for his 11th NBA season. The veteran swingman averaged 14.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 31.5 minutes per tilt over 50 games during the regular season, shooting a career-high 36.0 percent from deep for Philadelphia in 2025-26. All signs point toward Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) being ready for the start of the new year, which could mean Oubre will have to settle for a reserve role.
The Pacers will exercise the team option on Potter's contract for the 2026-27 season, per Tony East of Forbes.com.
The move sets Potter up for his second season with the Pacers. The Wisconsin product enjoyed a career campaign in 2025-26, averaging 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.3 minutes per game over 47 appearances, and he appears to be the early favorite for the backup center role behind Ivica Zubac next year.

Rotowire
The Pacers extended a qualifying offer to Slawson on Monday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Slawson is now entering the market as a restricted free agent. He made 13 regular-season appearances for Indiana in 2025-26, posting averages of 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.5 steals.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Says he's feeling great
Rotowire
Haliburton said Saturday that he feels "great," Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
"I feel great. Body feels great. I'm able to do everything," Haliburton said. "I feel like I'm operating like I'm a healthy NBA player -- for the first time in a long time, which is exciting." Haliburton missed the entire 2025-26 season after tearing his Achilles tendon seven minutes into Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, but he's been participating in 5-on-5 work since April and no longer appears to have any restrictions. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if the Pacers managed his workload early in training camp and the preseason.

Pacers' Rienk Mast: Lands Exhibit 10 deal
Rotowire
Mast agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Pacers on Thursday, Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress.com reports.
Mast went undrafted but will have the opportunity to leave a positive impression with the Pacers in Summer League. Over 34 starts for Nebraska last season, he averaged 13.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 29.2 minutes per showing.
Reeves agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Pacers on Wednesday, Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress.com reports.
Reeves will presumably join Indiana for Summer League and get the chance to make a positive impression with the Pacers. Over 29 appearances for Georgia Tech in 2025-26, he averaged 15.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 30.2 minutes per contest.
