Indiana Pacers Summer League 2025 roster, dates and complete schedule

Fresh off a gut-wrenching 2025 NBA Finals loss in seven games to the OKC Thunder, a series marked by the devastating Achilles injury to Tyrese Haliburton in the first quarter of Game 7, the Indiana Pacers are gearing up for their return to action at this year’s Summer League in Las Vegas.

The Pacers didn’t hold a first-round pick in this year’s draft, a result of last season’s trade for Pascal Siakam, but they made two second-round selections, grabbing Kam Jones at No. 38 and Taelon Peter at No. 54.

After the draft wrapped up, Indiana quickly moved to sign three players to Exhibit 10 deals: RJ Felton from East Carolina, Creighton’s Steven Ashworth and UConn’s Samson Johnson.
