Pacers select Taelon Peter with the 54th overall pick

MARION COUNTY, INDIANA, JUN 27 – The Pacers traded for Kam Jones to replace injured star Tyrese Haliburton, who is expected to miss the 2025-26 season due to a torn Achilles tendon, team officials said.

  • Last Thursday at Barclays Center, the Pacers traded up to select Marquette's Kam Jones 38th overall from the Spurs' pick acquired Wednesday.
  • Tyrese Haliburton's torn Achilles prompted the Pacers to select Kam Jones to bolster their backcourt for the 2025-26 season.
  • During his college career at Marquette, Jones averaged 19.2 points, 5.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals, finishing seventh nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio, highlighting his playmaking skill.
  • The Pacers drafted Jones with their pick from Spurs, aiming to bolster their backcourt after Haliburton’s season-ending Achilles injury.
  • Adding to Marquette's NBA pipeline, Kam Jones joins former Golden Eagles like Butler and Cain, continuing a three-year draft trend that reflects the program’s long-term talent development.
