Jalen Slawson Proved Value At Summer League, Earns Two-Way With Pacers
The Indiana Pacers plan to sign forward Jalen Slawson to a two-way contract after his strong performance at the 2026 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Slawson, 26, was a restricted free agent after receiving a qualifying offer. He averaged 20.8 points per game over five summer league games, including multiple 20-point outings. Slawson previously signed a one-year two-way deal with the Pacers in February 2026, averaging 7.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 13 appearances. He improved his conditioning, spacing understanding, and ball handling while working with Tyrese Haliburton. Summer league coach Bryce Taylor praised Slawson's explosive driving ability, passing, and energy. Slawson's defensive contributions included blocks and steals, and he shot 85% from 0-3 feet last season.
