Slawson signed a two-way contract with the Pacers on Tuesday, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com.
Indiana extended Slawson a qualifying offer in June, and the two sides have officially reached an agreement on a new deal. Preparing for his second season with the Pacers, the 2023 second-rounder figures to spend most of his time with the G League's Noblesville Boom in 2026-27.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Another strong SL outing
Rotowire
Slawson finished Saturday's 91-73 Summer League win over the Pelicans with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 29 minutes.
As he's done for much of the Summer League, Slawson made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He scored 10 of his team-high 22 points in the fourth quarter while also leading the Pacers with five stocks. Slawson appeared in only 13 regular-season games for Indiana in 2025-26 but averaged 23.9 minutes per contest. He could carve himself out a consistent role in the Pacers' rotation for 2026-27 if he extends his strong Summer League play into training camp and the preseason.

Rotowire
Keita tallied 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and three blocks over 16 minutes in Saturday's 91-73 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Pelicans.
Keita missed just one shot in 16 minutes off the bench and still managed to lead Indiana's second unit in scoring. He'll head to training camp with the Pacers, where he'll compete for a spot on the regular-season roster.
Kinsey (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's Las Vegas Summer League final versus the Pelicans, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Through four games in Las Vegas, Kinsey averaged 6.5 points and 1.3 triples in 13.8 minutes per game. It will be interesting to see if he earns a training camp invite with Indiana.

Pacers' Tamin Lipsey: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Lipsey (rest) will not play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Pelicans, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Lipsey appeared in two Summer League games for the Pacers and averaged 3.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 22.8 minutes per contest. He signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Pacers in late June, but it's unclear whether he's done enough to earn an invite to Indiana's training camp.

Pacers' Braden Smith: Team-high eight assists in loss
Rotowire
Smith posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight assists and six rebounds over 26 minutes during Indiana's 114-98 loss to Minnesota in Wednesday's Summer League game.
Smith didn't have a huge scoring game, though it was better than the donut he put up against the Raptors on Monday. He did lead the Pacers in assists and finished as the team's second-leading rebounder behind Jalen Slawson (nine). Smith was a second-round pick of the Pacers in the 2026 NBA Draft, and he figures to spend most of his rookie season in the G League.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Stands out despite SL loss
Rotowire
Slawson notched 20 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and four blocks in Wednesday's 114-98 Summer League loss to the Timberwolves.
Slawson has been one of the standout performers for the Pacers during Summer League action. This was his third straight game reaching the 20-point plateau, and he grabbed at least eight rebounds for a second consecutive contest. In four Las Vegas Summer League outings, Slawson is averaging 20.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3.0 blocks per game.
Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Scores 21 points in SL loss
Rotowire
Slawson finished with 21 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 28 minutes in Monday's 94-93 Summer League loss to Toronto.
Slawson scored over 20 points for the second time during Summer League. He also remained aggressive on the defensive end by recording two blocks, bringing his total to eight during his time in Las Vegas. However, Slawson has been inefficient from deep, shooting a combined 4-for-18 from downtown in his three Summer League appearances while committing nine turnovers during that span.

Pacers' Braden Smith: Dishes out nine assists in SL loss
Rotowire
Smith supplied zero points (0-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), nine assists, three rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes in Monday's 94-93 Summer League loss to the Raptors.
Smith couldn't find the bottom of the net in this one, though he was able to contribute in other areas. The rookie point guard led the Pacers in assists and has dished out at least five dimes in back-to-back games. Additionally, he has now tallied multiple steals in all three of his Las Vegas Summer League appearances thus far.
Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Scores 26 points in SL loss
Rotowire
Slawson supplied 26 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Saturday's 100-93 Summer League loss to the 76ers in overtime.
After shooting just 4-for-15 from the field in Friday's win over Cleveland, Slawson put together a much more efficient outing from inside the arc against Philadelphia. However, he struggled from downtown and is shooting just 3-for-14 from beyond the arc through two Las Vegas Summer League games. Still, he led all players in scoring Saturday and has tallied at least 15 points in both of his appearances this summer.

Pacers' Braden Smith: Tallies 16 points in Summer League
Rotowire
Smith recorded 16 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3PT, 6-7 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 100-93 Summer League overtime loss to the 76ers.
Smith scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half and finished as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Jalen Slawson (26 points). Smith was a second-round pick of the Bulls in the 2026 NBA Draft before being traded to the Pacers. The Purdue product will have the chance to crack Indiana's NBA roster with strong performances in the Summer League and in the preseason, though he'll likely spend most of 2026-27 in the G League.
Slawson supplied 15 points (4-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, five blocks and one steal across 23 minutes in Friday's 99-93 Summer League win over the Cavaliers.
Slawson got off to a slow start in this one, shooting 0-for-4 from downtown in the opening quarter. While he finished with inefficient shooting splits, the 26-year-old forward stuffed the stat sheet and was still Indiana's third-leading scorer. Slawson also led all players in blocks and assists while finishing third on the Pacers in rebounds.

Pacers' Rienk Mast: Double-doubles in Summer League
Rotowire
Mast produced 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 99-93 Summer League win over Cleveland.
Mast matched the team high in scoring Friday and led the Pacers in rebounding. The undrafted rookie has an Exhibit 10 deal with Indiana, and he's likely to join the G League's Noblesville Boom in 2026-27 if he doesn't make the final roster.
Pacers' Kobe Brown: Signs two-way deal with Indiana
Rotowire
The Pacers signed Brown to a two-way contract Thursday, per Tony East of Forbes.com.
Indiana acquired the forward as part of the Ivica Zubac trade this past season, and the team is bringing Brown back for the 2026-27 campaign. Brown, a 2023 first-rounder, averaged 9.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game over 27 regular-season appearances for the Pacers last year, but he figures to be a featured member of the G League's Noblesville Boom in 2026-27.
