The Pacers are taking care of business this offseason. The key items on their to-do list going into the summer involved keeping the core of their ECF team together and they’ve just crossed another entry off the list.

According to Tony East, “The new deal for Nembhard adds just under $59 million to his contract. Indiana will decline the team option on Nembhard's current deal that covers the 2025-26 season before the extension is signed, so the new three-year agreement for the Canadian guard will begin in 2025-26 and run through the 2027-28 season. Nembhard's contract contains no options, a league source told Pacers On SI. He is now under contract for the next four seasons in Indiana.”

Nembhard has been a key cog in the revamped Pacers machine ever since his arrival. His tenacious point of attack defense and ability to run an offense make him a valuable asset for any team.

With his signing, the wing rotation in Indy becomes a bit more set in stone. It will be a competitive group this coming year (as it was the previous one) and consolidation seems likely in the not too distant future.

For now, I’m just enjoying the fact that this very fun, good natured group gets another shot at doing something special.
