Indiana Pacers consider adding Jaime Jaquez Jr. from Miami Heat
Summary

The Indiana Pacers are exploring options to strengthen their roster following a disappointing 2025-26 season. With no high draft pick available, the front office may look to free agency for improvements, specifically considering Jaime Jaquez Jr. of the Miami Heat. Jaquez, who averaged 15.4 points and contributed significantly across various stats this past season, could be an appealing option to enhance Indiana's competitiveness moving forward. However, financial constraints present challenges for acquiring him, necessitating strategic moves to create salary cap space.
