Draft

Main article: 2026 NBA draft

The Pacers entered the draft without any draft picks with the Portland Trailblazers being only other team without any draft picks. Although they finished the previous season with the league's second-worst record, their first-round pick was conveyed to the Los Angeles Clippers due to the Ivica Zubac trade in February 2026, as it dropped into its unprotected 5th to 9th pick range in the subsequent draft lottery. With the Pacers finishing with a worse record than the Miami Heat, their more favorable second-round pick was conveyed to the Memphis Grizzlies vis the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite not having a draft pick, the Pacers traded Kam Jones and future second round picks to the Chicago Bulls for the draft rights to Braden Smith.
