Summary

Story summary

Pacers signed Larry Nance Jr. to a one-year, $4 million contract for 2026-27.
Nance’s $2.45 million salary, after waiving Micah Potter’s $2.8 million non-guaranteed deal that saved $400,000, leaves $2.24 million from the first apron and $600,000 extra room.
Guard Taelon Peter may be promoted to a non-guaranteed standard contract worth $2.16 million, freeing a two-way slot.
To avoid the luxury-tax line, the Pacers could trade Jarace Walker’s $8.4 million expiring contract before the deadline.
