Indiana Pacers roster set ahead of 2024-25 NBA season opener

The Pacers entered camp with 14 players on guaranteed NBA contracts and three players on two-way deals that would allow them to split time between the Pacers and the G League’s Mad Ants.

When training camp began, Kendall Brown and Cole Swider were on non-guaranteed deals. Both were waived and no one was signed to fill the opening. That spot could be useful if they wish to add another player or if they need roster space to make a trade at the February deadline.

The full opening day roster follows, as does a projected depth chart and starting lineup.
