Jalen Slawson, Pacers Agree To Two-Way Deal

Jalen Slawson is sticking with the Indiana Pacers on a new two-way contract, which means he'll split his playing time between the NBA team and their G League affiliate. Drafted 54th overall in 2023 out of Furman, Slawson showed promising potential last season with solid averages in both the NBA and G League. This move indicates the Pacers are betting on his development, leveraging his dual-team presence to enhance his skills while integrating him into the main roster. It's a smart strategy for both the player and the team, offering Slawson valuable experience while keeping roster flexibility.
