Indiana Pacers players miss contract extension deadline

The Indiana Pacers did not secure contract extensions for any of their eligible players before Monday's deadline. Six of their players, including Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker in the final year of rookie contracts, were eligible for extensions but ultimately agreed to none. The Pacers, who have been active in past offseasons with extensions, faced financial considerations due to being over the luxury tax line. Next summer, extension talks will resume as several players will still be eligible for new deals.
