Indiana Pacers roster drawn ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season opener

play

The NBA formally announced all its Opening Day rosters on Monday, with the Indiana Pacers leaving their final spot open.

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

When training camp started, 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 come in handy if they want to add another player or need roster space to trade before the February deadline.

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

00 − Benedict Mathurin

0 − Tyrese Haliburton

1 − Obi Toppin

2 − Andreas Nembhard
