The Pacers will play their fifth and final NBA Summer League game of 2026 against the Pelicans on Saturday night at 9 p.m. ET at the Pavilion in Las Vegas, the NBA announced early Friday morning.
The NBA determines each team’s fifth game based on Summer League standings after their first four. Four teams qualify for the league semifinals — in this case the Rockets, Grizzlies, Lakers and Warriors. Each team that fails to qualify is assigned a time slot and an opponent for a consolation game. The Pacers are 1-3 through four games and the Pelicans are 2-2.
Jalen Slawson is the Pacers’ leading scorer through four Summer League games with 20.5 points per game. Guard Kobe Bufkin is leading the Pelicans with 21.3 points per game.
