The Indiana Pacers are nearly done with their 2024 offseason business. Two-way contracts remain.
Every team in the NBA is given three two-way contract slots for players. Anyone with three or fewer years of service in the league can ink a two-way deal, and those contracts allow teams to easily pass a player back and forth between their G League affiliate and NBA club.
The Pacers have yet to fill a single one of their two-way contract openings, being only one of two teams with that reality currently. There is no rush to fill them or requirement that they are signed by a specific date, but any candidate for a two-way agreement would likely hope to put pen to paper as early as possible. For Indiana, it's the next step in their offseason as they finish building their team for 2024-25.
Typically, players chosen late in the second-round wind up on two-way agreements unless their team needs cheap talent on a standard roster spot. Given that the blue and gold have 15 players on standard deals already, fitting in Freeman or Newton on their roster would require a waiver or trade. Two other names to keep an eye on for two-way deals with Indiana are Oscar Tshiebwe and Quenton Jackson. Both players were on a two-way contract with the Pacers to end last season and just wrapped up summer league with the blue and gold., which sent them into restricted free agency. Said offer was not rescinded for either player prior to July 13, meaning it now requires a joint decision from both the Pacers and the player to be pulled.
