The Pacers have locked in four more summer additions, signing Keba Keita, Rienk Mast, Kowacie Reeves Jr. and Jalen Warley to Exhibit 10 contracts, according to Tony East of Forbes and Circle City Spin.
All four were undrafted in 2026 and suited up for Indiana’s Summer League group in Las Vegas. Their Exhibit 10 deals had already been reported previously, East noted.
Keita brings a defensive presence to the mix. The 6’7″ center from Mali spent two years at Utah before moving on to BYU, where he finished his college run from 2022-26. Last season, as a senior for the Cougars, he put up 6.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steal across 33 starts, playing 22.6 minutes per game.
Mast, a Dutch forward, split his college career between Bradley and Nebraska from 2020-26. In his final season with the Cornhuskers, he averaged 13.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 34 starts.
Reeves, a 6’6″ shooting guard, played two years at Florida and then two full years at Georgia Tech from 2021-26. He was productive for the Yellow Jackets last season, averaging 15.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals while shooting .456/.387/.779 in 29 starts and 30.2 minutes per game.
Warley arrived at Gonzaga for the 2025/26 season after three years at Florida State. The 6’6″ combo guard posted 7.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals over 33 games last season, including 17 starts, in 21.8 minutes per game.
If the Pacers waive all four before the season starts, each player would be eligible for a bonus of up to $91K provided he spends at least 60 days with the Noblesville Boom, Indiana’s G League affiliate. That bonus would come on top of the standard NBAGL salary.

Pacers May Have Passed On Their Boldest Title Swing Yet
The idea of Giannis Antetokounmpo in an Indiana Pacers uniform is the kind of hypothetical that stops a season cold, even if it never got close to reality. The piece looks at what a Milwaukee Bucks trade framework might have demanded from Indiana and why the Pacers, with their roster as constructed, could have been an intriguing fit for a superstar whose downhill force and rim pressure change everything around him.
It also underscores the risk and cost of a swing that enormous, because any deal for Antetokounmpo would have required a massive haul going the other way. Still, the appeal is obvious: a player of that caliber could have put Indiana squarely in championship-contender territory, even if the article makes clear the scenario was far more fantasy than negotiation.

Pacers Offseason Suddenly Looks Thin For One Painful Reason
The Pacers and Jazz finished with similarly rough records last season, but the way their summers have unfolded has looked nothing alike. Utah landed a top-four pick, added Darryn Peterson and Jaren Jackson Jr., and stayed busy by re-signing Keyonte George and dealing Walker Kessler for future picks. Indiana, meanwhile, shipped its 2023 first-round pick to the Clippers in the Ivica Zubac trade, leaving the front office with far less maneuvering room as it tried to add around its core.
Indiana's quieter offseason has only sharpened the focus on Tyrese Haliburton and whether he can get back to the level the Pacers need. With fewer obvious reinforcements coming and the roster looking thinner than some of its peers, the burden of making this team look like a contender falls even more heavily on internal improvement. For a franchise that expected a more active summer, the gap between where the Pacers are and where they want to be feels especially stark. [Read more 🡒]
Pacers Offseason May Hinge On One Very Different Haliburton Fit
Ivica Zubacs brief run with the Pacers last season left more questions than answers, mostly because he only got into five games before the team ran out of time to really see what he could bring. Still, ESPNs Bobby Marks has flagged him as one of the more significant additions of Indianas offseason because he represents such a different kind of center than Myles Turner, with a more physical presence around the basket and a style that could change the teams interior identity.
What makes the fit especially interesting is how much it could influence the Pacers offense, which has long been built around pace, spacing and Haliburtons playmaking. Marks also raised the idea of Zubac extending his shooting range, a development that would give Indiana even more ways to use him and potentially reshape how the group attacks possessions next season.
