The Pacers have signed forward Jalen Slawson to an Exhibit 10 deal, Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files tweets. They acquired his G League player rights from the Birmingham Squadron on Aug. 29.
Slawson was a late second-round selection for the Kings in 2023. He appeared in 12 games off the bench for Sacramento as a rookie on a two-way deal.
He was not extended a qualifying offer last summer, which made him an unrestricted free agent. He signed a camp deal with the Magic last September and was waived prior to opening night.
Slawson spent last season with the Osceola Magic in the G League. He appeared in 50 games at that level, averaging 12 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 30.1 minutes per contest. He was on the Sixers Summer League squad in July.
Under the terms of an Exhibit 10 deal, Slawson will make up to $85,300 if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with the Noblesville Boom, Indiana’s G League affiliate.
The addition of Slawson increased Indiana’s training camp roster count to 19, two below the maximum.
