Indiana Pacers still have open roster spot as offseason progresses

The Indiana Pacers' roster currently includes 14 players with fully guaranteed deals as of July 31, 2026. They have one open spot available but can only add a player with zero or one years of service due to salary cap constraints. Braden Smith, their 38th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, is unsigned and could sign as a two-way player, pending roster decisions involving current two-way contracts. The Pacers recently signed Jalen Slawson and Kobe Brown to similar deals, complicating their options for the final roster position. Waiving a two-way contract player carries minimal risk, leaving the Pacers positioned to consider moves before the start of the season.
