Draft

Main article: 2026 NBA draft

The Pacers entered the draft without any draft picks.[1][2] Although they finished the previous season with the league's second-worst record, their first-round pick was conveyed to the Los Angeles Clippers due to the Ivica Zubac trade in February 2026, as it dropped into its unprotected 5th to 9th pick range in the subsequent draft lottery.[3] With the Pacers finishing with a worse record than the Miami Heat, their more favorable second-round pick was conveyed to the Memphis Grizzlies via the Milwaukee Bucks following two separate trades in 2021.[4]

During the draft, the Pacers acquired the draft rights to Braden Smith, who was selected 38th overall, from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Kam Jones and future second-round picks.[5]
