JULY 20 • SI.COM

Let go by Pacers The Pacers waived Peter on Monday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Indiana had four players under a two-way contract ahead of 2026-27 and can roster only three on such a deal, cutting Peter loose Monday. The 2025 second-rounder will now set his sights toward latching onto another team prior to training camp in the fall.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Rough night Sunday Peter totaled three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Peter ended his season with an underwhelming performance, failing to take advantage of a situation that will likely disappear heading into the 2026-27 campaign. Assuming Indiana makes a push next season, it's hard to see Peter playing any sort of meaningful role. In nine appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 7.6 points, 1.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 18.9 minutes per contest.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Peter (two-way) has been ruled out for Saturday's NBA game against the Spurs.

Impact Peter has logged 13 or more minutes in each of his last three appearances, but the two-way guard will be inactive Saturday. He's appeared in 31 NBA contests this season.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Tuesday The Pacers have ruled out Peter (two-way) for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Peter had averaged 14.0 minutes per game while appearing in three of the Pacers' previous four contests, but Indiana will hold him out Tuesday in an effort to manage his availability. The two-way rookie out of Liberty has been active for 40 games this season, so he'll be eligible to suit up for 10 of the Pacers' remaining 13 contests.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Tuesday's contest Peter (two-way) is listed out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Peter will be in street clothes for a second straight game while the Pacers look to manage his availability as the season winds down. The two-way player has already suited up in 36 games this season, so he can be active for just 14 more contests the rest of the way before Indiana would need to upgrade him to a standard NBA contract.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Career-high four steals Peter notched 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 131-118 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Peter scored double digits for the third straight game, while also recording a career-high four steals. As Indiana continues to shuffle its rotation on a nightly basis, it appears as though Peter is currently in favor. However, keeping in mind that he is on a two-way contract, fantasy managers need to be prepared for random absences moving forward.

I have been completely wrong about Taelon Peter so far Taelon Peter has proven me wrong many times since getting drafted by the Indiana Pacers, and I am not ashamed to admit it.

Wizards beat the Pacers 112-105, snapping a 3-game slide

Bub Carrington and Anthony Gill each scored 13 points and helped spark a decisive fourth-quarter run as the Washington Wizards outlasted the Indiana Pacers 112-105

FEBRUARY 20 • Associated Press

Taelon Peter just sent the Pacers a reminder they can't ignore The Indiana Pacers drafted Taelon Peter in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft, and his rookie season has been shaky so far.

FEBRUARY 13 • 8POINTS9SECONDS.COM

Tallies three swipes in loss Peter posted five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three steals and two assists over 17 minutes during Saturday's 121-78 loss to the Pistons.

Impact With the Pacers shorthanded in the second leg of their back-to-back set, Peter saw the court for just the second time this month and logged double-digit minutes for the first time since Nov. 15. The two-way player struggled with efficiency on the offensive end, though he tallied a team- and career-high three steals.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Taelon Peter just put the Pacers on notice with latest showing Indiana Pacers rookie Taelon Peter is looking to make a name for himself and establish himself as a long-term contributor.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • 8POINTS9SECONDS.COM

Drops 24 points in G League Peter logged 24 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes Thursday during the G League Noblesville Bloom's 118-98 win over th...

Impact Peter was dominant in the victory, as his 24 points both led the team and served as a new season-high total for the 23-year-old. The two-way player has appeared in 15 games with the Pacers so far this season, and he should continue to split his time between the NBA and the G League.

Pacers quietly made Taelon Peter decision fans should've expected all along The Indiana Pacers may have just quietly made a concrete decision regarding second-round rookie guard Taelon Peter.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • 8POINTS9SECONDS.COM

Back in rotation Friday Peter recorded three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) across six minutes during Friday's 119-86 victory over Washington.

Impact Peter moved back into the rotation, albeit for a garbage-time appearance only. He has appeared in 12 games thus far, exceeding 10 minutes on four occasions. He is firmly down the pecking order and can be ignored in all formats at this point.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available Tuesday Peter (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Peter will shed his questionable tag due to right groin soreness and suit up in Tuesday's contest. However, the two-way player isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time with T.J. McConnell (hamstring) back in action.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Peter (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Peter has been a regular on the injury report of late due to right groin soreness, though he's been available to play in each of the Pacers' last six games. Over his last five appearances, the two-way player has averaged 1.8 points while shooting an abysmal 16.7 percent from the field across 9.2 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up Sunday Peter (groin) will play in Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Peter will shake off his questionable tag due to right groin soreness and suit up Sunday. The two-way player has seen the floor in four of the Pacers' last five games, averaging 2.3 points while shooting 22.2 percent from the field in 10.0 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy Sunday Peter (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Peter was available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets but didn't see the floor and is questionable for the second half of the back-to-back Sunday due to right groin soreness. The guard has appeared in six games this season, averaging 2.0 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.0 assist in 9.7 minutes per contest, so his potential absence shouldn't have much impact on the Pacers' rotation.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Peter (groin) will be available to play Saturday against the Nuggets.

Impact Peter will power through the groin issue and should be available for his usual minutes in the teens. Over the past two games, Peter has scored a total of six points on 2-7 shooting.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Peter (groin) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Peter is dealing with a groin injury that could keep him sidelined. If he's ruled out, the next chance for him to get back on the floor will be Sunday against the Warriors.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 16 minutes in loss Peter provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets.

Impact With the Pacers incredibly thin at point guard, Peter found himself in the rotation backing up Ben Sheppard. While he is not expected to last in the rotation when the roster gets healthier, Peter will likely continue to get minutes until one of Quenton Jackson (hamstring) or Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) returns.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Peter (groin) will play in Saturday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Peter has been tending to a right groin strain recently, and he'll play through the injury once again Saturday. The guard played eight minutes Friday against Atlanta and should continue to be a back-end rotation player for the shorthanded Pacers.
