Pacers Summer League Preview

The Indiana Pacers are hitting the NBA Summer League in Vegas, but don’t plan on watching them in the evening—every game’s slated for late afternoon Eastern. No first-round pick this year, but fans should keep an eye on Purdue’s Braden Smith, the second-round steal they got by trading Kam Jones. Their first four games? July 10 vs. Cavs, July 11 vs. 76ers, July 13 vs. Raptors, and July 15 vs. Timberwolves—all in smaller venues except one at the big Thomas & Mack Center. Top four teams advance to playoffs, with the title game on July 19. Expect to see rising talents like Smith, Ethan Thompson, Taelon Peter, and Jalen Slawson, while veterans from last year sit out. Johnny Furphy, recovering from ACL surgery, is eligible but sidelined. It’s all about the future—watch these young guns shine before the real season kicks off.
