The Indiana Pacers are gearing up for the upcoming NBA season with a focus on their eight extension-eligible players. After finishing a challenging season with a franchise-worst record of 19-63, the Pacers are looking to improve their roster and performance. Currently, they do not hold any 2026 draft picks, which means their roster will likely remain similar to this past season's. However, with hopes of better health, the Pacers aim to bounce back from the injuries that plagued them last season. A key consideration for the Pacers will be the potential cost of acquiring players like Pascal Siakam, who could significantly impact their performance on both ends of the court. As they evaluate their options, the Pacers must weigh the financial implications against the need for a stronger lineup. With only one player set to enter free agency, the Pacers have a unique opportunity to solidify their roster and make strategic moves in the offseason.
