Pacers GM comments on potential extensions for team players

Indiana Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan discussed ongoing contract extension situations for key players ahead of the 2026-27 season. Many core players, including Pascal Siakam, Jarace Walker, and Ben Sheppard, are eligible for extensions. While Siakam could sign a new deal worth up to $207 million, Walker and Sheppard need agreements by the Oct. 19 deadline as they enter the last year of their rookie contracts. The front office has largely kept extension discussions confidential, focusing instead on preparing for the upcoming season.
