The Pacers are not expected to pursue major trades this offseason after acquiring Ivica Zubac in February. They may look into lower-profile acquisitions, focusing on scoring options like Malik Monk and Max Strus, potentially requiring Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard in trades. Other potential targets include Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe, along with players like Khris Middleton and Anfernee Simons who could be pursued with the team's mid-level exception. Additionally, guard Andrew Nembhard, entering his second year of a three-year deal, has been pivotal in his leadership role, averaging 31.3 minutes per game.

By the Numbers
  • Andrew Nembhard averaged a career-high 31.3 minutes per game over 57 games.
  • Nembhard is on a three-year, $58.65 million contract.
State of Play
  • The Pacers are conducting pre-draft workouts, with sessions scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
  • No current draft pick exists for the Pacers, but trades could alter that situation.
What's Next

Future developments may involve trades to acquire a draft pick or bring in new scoring talent, depending on offseason activities and player evaluations from pre-draft workouts.

Bottom Line

The Pacers aim to enhance their roster depth with strategic acquisitions while promoting talent development, particularly through the leadership of players like Nembhard as they approach the offseason.
