Pacers make massive mistake with final roster spot
Overall, this offseason has been a solid one for the Indiana Pacers. The team re-signed key players Pascal Siakam and Obi Toppin, gave Andrew Nembhard a long-term contract extension, and drafted Johnny Furphy in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Two time national champion point guard signs with Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers inked former UConn Huskies guard Tristen Newton to a two-way contract on Saturday. Newton was the 49th player selected in the 2024 NBA draft, joined in the draft class by fellow UConn starters Stephon Castle, Donovan Clingan, and Cam Spencer. The 6’5 guard averaged 9.0 points, 4.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals across five Summer League games, although he shot just 20% from the field and 18.2% from the three point line. “Tristen Newton, tremendous [growth] from game one to game five,” Pacers summer league head coach Jannero Pargo said. “Understanding our offense more, playing more confident. Being able to call plays and run our sets and be more comfortable out there.” Newton averaged over 15 points, six assists, and six rebounds in his final season with UConn, leading Dan Hurley’s team to back-to-back national championships as the primary ball-handler. Now, his experience, winning mentality, facilitation, and positional rebounding skills will give Indiana additional point guard depth available throughout the season, although Newton will likely spend most of his time in the G League with the Mad Ants.
