Taelon Peter News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers | FOX Sports

Plays 17 minutes in NBA debut Peter accumulated three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact With T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Kam Jones (back) and Quenton Jackson (hamstring) sidelined, Peter, a rookie second-round pick, was part of Indiana's rotation during the regular-season opener. The per-minute production wasn't there, but it was encouraging to see the youngster gain the trust of head coach Rick Carlisle, especially against the defending champs. Peter could see more usage if Andrew Nembhard, who left his game with a shoulder injury, joins the aforementioned trio on the short-term injury list.

Fills box score in preseason loss Peter tallied nine points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 22 minutes during Friday's 133-104 preseason loss to the Spurs.

Impact Peter put together a nice stat line in Friday's preseason finale, as he led the bench in assists while finishing second in scoring among Indiana reserves behind Cameron Payne (10). Peter has scored at least nine points in three of four preseason games, but with the Pacers flush with depth in the backcourt, the rookie second-rounder will likely see most of his playing time during the 2025-26 campaign in the G League.
