Impact A second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Freeman was limited to 22 regular-season appearances with the Pacers in 2024-25. He made a strong impression in the Summer League, however, averaging 16.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.

Impact Freeman will become an unrestricted free agent after Wednesday's move. The soon-to-be 25-year-old appeared in 22 regular-season NBA games as a rookie, averaging 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds over 8.2 minutes per game.

Strong end to Summer League Freeman tallied 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes in Friday's 113-104 Summer League win over the Pelicans.

Impact Freeman closed out an impressive Summer League showing with another double-double on highly efficient shooting. While the big man is expected to spend significant time in the G League during the 2025-26 season, his strong summer performance -- combined with Myles Turner's departure and Isaiah Jackson's (Achilles) injury status -- could open the door for NBA minutes.

Impact It was an efficient shooting performance by Freeman, who also turned in a double-double to help lead the Pacers to victory. The two-player is in position to spend the majority of his time in 2025-26 in the G League, although it's worth noting that Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) may not be ready for the start of the new year to help fill the void left behind by Myles Turner at center.

Back in rotation Friday Freeman finished with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds across 11 minutes during Friday's 129-115 loss to Orlando.

Impact Freeman suited up for the first time in the past 32 games, albeit for a brief appearance. With the Pacers' playoff future now set, there is a chance Freeman could remain in the rotation for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. Beyond that, he will likely spend the majority of his time spectating from the bench.

Available Tuesday Freeman (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Portland.

Impact The two-way player has overcome an illness and will be available off Indiana's bench Tuesday. However, Freeman hasn't appeared for the Pacers since the Jan. 8 win over Chicago, so it's not a guarantee he'll see the court against the Trail Blazers.

Won't play Saturday Freeman (illness) is out for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact Freeman has been downgraded from questionable to out Saturday due to an illness. However, the rookie forward's absence won't impact Indiana's rotation. Freeman's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Utah.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Under the weather Freeman (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Freeman is currently battling through an illness, which has put his availability for Saturday's game in jeopardy. The rookie second-round pick last saw NBA regular-season action Jan. 8 against the Bulls.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Used sparingly in loss Freeman accumulated one rebound and one block over three minutes during Tuesday's 122-111 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Freeman barely saw the floor again Tuesday, having played more than 10 minutes only twice thus far. Despite dealing with a number of injuries, the Pacers have seen no reason to extend Freeman beyond a depth role. He has scored a total of just 20 points across 13 games, recording a season-high six points against the Rockets.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Wednesday Freeman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Far from surprising here, but Freeman will return to his regular bench with the return of Myles Turner to the starting lineup. Freeman is averaging 9.9 minutes per game in seven outings (one start) this season, so he's not expected to see heavy minutes off the bench with both Turner and Pascal Siakam managing most of the frontcourt minutes.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First career start Monday Freeman is in the Pacers' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Raptors, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact With Myles Turner (calf) sidelined and backup big men James Wiseman (Achilles) and Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) done for the year, Freeman will make his first career start Monday. Freeman, the Pacers' second-round selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, has seen sparse playing time this season, but he has a chance to earn a bigger spot in the rotation with a solid outing Monday.

Impact Freeman was efficient while racking up seven rebounds, tying Myles Turner for the team high. Freeman injured his knee during Thursday's preseason win over the Cavaliers, though he was able to accumulate 24 minutes Monday so the injury is likely already past him. The 24-year-old's next chance to suit up will come in the Pacers' final preseason game on Thursday versus the Hornets.
