Mandatory Credit: Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images A week after trading away their first-round pick, the Indiana Pacers acquired a second-round selection shortly before the NBA Draft began on Wednesday evening.
The Pacers landed the 38th overall pick from the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for the Sacramento Kings' second-round selection in 2030 plus cash considerations. Indiana acquired the 2030 pick in a deal for shooting guard Chris Duarte in 2023.
After trading the 23rd selection to the New Orleans Pelicans last week to reacquire their 2026 first-rounder, the Pacers now have picks No. 38 and 54 in this year's draft. The 2026 pick initially was included in the deal to acquire Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors. Toronto then shipped it to New Orleans as part of a package for Brandon Ingram.
Coming off a devastating Game 7 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, the Pacers may look to add depth with the extra pick. All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles tendon on a non-contact play seven minutes into Game 7 and is expected to miss most or all of the 2025-26 season.
