Less than three weeks after being waived<\/a> by the Pacers, Taelon Peter<\/a> has a new NBA opportunity lined up, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, who reports (via Twitter<\/a>) that the 2025 second-round pick has agreed to a deal with the Spurs and will attend training camp with the team.<\/p>\n

\"\"Peter, 24, was the 54th overall pick of the 2025 draft out of Liberty University. He made 38 appearances for Indiana as a rookie, averaging 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 12.9 minutes per game, with a .380\/.328\/.625 shooting line.<\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s two-way contract with the Pacers covered a second season and he played pretty well at the Las Vegas Summer League last month, scoring 10.4 points in 24.3 minutes per game while making 50.0% of his shots from the floor. However, Indiana had a crowded two-way situation and needed to make room to re-sign Jalen Slawson, so Peter found himself as the odd man out and was cut at the end of he team\u2019s run in Vegas.<\/p>\n

The Spurs signed a pair of 2026 second-rounders \u2013 Maliq Brown<\/a> and Ja\u2019Kobi Gillespie<\/a> \u2013 to two-way contracts while also bringing back David Jones Garcia<\/a> on a new two-way deal. So if Peter receives an Exhibit 10<\/a> contract, he seems more likely to end up as an affiliate player for the Austin Spurs, San Antonio\u2019s G League team, than to have that deal converted to a two-way.<\/p>\n

The Spurs currently have four openings on their 21-man offseason roster, so no corresponding move will be necessary to bring Peter aboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Less than three weeks after being waived by the Pacers, Taelon Peter has a new NBA opportunity lined…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":847192,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85,418012],"class_list":["post-847191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-sports","tag-taelon-peter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=847191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847191\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/847192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=847191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=847191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=847191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
