Overview
- The Pacers officially waived guard Taelon Peter, a transaction confirmed in the NBA’s logs and reported Monday.
- Jalen Slawson has reached agreement on a two-way contract and will join Kobe Brown and Ethan Thompson as the team’s three current two-way players.
- Peter was a 2025 second-round pick who split last season between the Pacers and the Noblesville Boom, averaging 4.5 points in 38 NBA games and about 14.9 points in 20 G League games.
- Slawson’s strong Las Vegas Summer League showing and earlier two-way signings for Brown and the Pacers’ reported plan for Braden Smith consumed available slots and helped push Peter off the roster.
- If the Pacers decide to bring Braden Smith in on a two-way deal, they would have to waive one of Slawson, Brown, or Thompson, a choice that will shape immediate NBA and G League playing opportunities.
