The NBA Summer League is approaching and the Indiana Pacers are getting their roster in order. Taelon Peter and Jalen Slawson will suit up for the Blue and Gold. They appeared in a combined 51 games for the Pacers last season. Former Purdue star Braden Smith also joins the squad after being selected in the second round of last week’s NBA Draft. The Pacers Summer League slate begins July 10 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Meanwhile, the Pacers will face recent playoff rivals and familiar teams in the 2026 NBA Cup. Indiana was drawn into East Group B along with the defending NBA champion New York Knicks, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Miami Heat. The Pacers will host NBA Cup games against the Knickerbockers and Sixers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and hit the road for games against the Cavs and Heat.
