9 Indiana Pacers Players Are Eligible For Extensions This Offseason

According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, nine Indiana Pacers players are eligible for extensions this offseason. 

The players are Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton, Ivica Zubac, Obi Toppin, Johnny Furphy, Andrew Nembhard, Jay Huff, Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker. 

The biggest names are Siakam and Haliburton. Indiana can sign Siakam to a $207 million extension starting on July 6. Meanwhile, the Pacers can sign Haliburton to a two-year, $121 million extension. 

Without Haliburton, the Pacers struggled immensely this season. They won only 19 games. However, Siakam played well. The former Toronto Raptors wing averaged 24.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game and made his fourth All-Star team.

Haliburton had an incredible 2024-25 campaign for the Pacers. He averaged 18.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.7 blocks per game and made the All-NBA Third Team.

Indiana defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks to advance to the 2025 NBA Finals. The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Pacers in the NBA Finals in seven games. Haliburton, of course, tore his Achilles tendon in Game 7. 

It will be interesting to see if the Pacers sign Haliburton and/or Siakam to an extension this offseason. The other players we mentioned above probably won't get extensions. 

The Zubac trade did come at a high cost, as the Pacers lost their first-round pick in the 2026 draft because of the Zubac deal. 

The Pacers needed to land in the top four to keep their pick after trading it with protections to the Clippers for Zubac. The trade sent two of Indiana's first-round picks to the Los Angeles Clippers: one in 2029 and either this year's first if it fell outside of the top four or a 2031 unprotected first-rounder if it did not.

Because the Washington Wizards moved up in the lottery, Indiana landed fifth, so the pick went to the Clippers instead.

The Pacers could have drafted AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer or Caleb Wilson. Instead, they have to pray that Zubac plays like an All-Star next season alongside Siakam and Haliburton.
