The Pacers plan to sign Iowa State guard Tamin Lipsey to an Exhibit 10 contract, per Darren Wolfson of 5 Eyewitness News and SKOR North (Twitter link).
Indiana will also sign Keba Keita to an Exhibit 10 training camp deal, a source tells Tony East of Forbes and Circle City Spin (Twitter link). The current plan is for Keita to be on the Pacers’ Summer League team, East adds.
The third undrafted player joining the Pacers on an Exhibit 10 pact will be Georgia Tech’s Kowacie Reeves, reports Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress (via Twitter).
Lipsey was ranked No. 74 on ESPN’s big board leading up to the draft, while Keita and Reeves weren’t among the top 100 prospects.
A 6’1″ point guard, Lipsey averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 steals on .459/.316/.656 shooting in 34 games as a senior for Iowa State (31.4 minutes per contest). He spent all four of his college seasons with the Cyclones.
Keita, a 6’7″ big man from Mali, spent two years at Utah before transferring to BYU ahead of his junior season. As a senior in ’25/26, the athletic but undersized center averaged 6.2 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 1.0 SPG and 1.8 BPG in 22.6 MPG (33 games).
Reeves played two years at Florida and his final two at Georgia Tech. He averaged 15.1 PPG, 3.8 RPG and 0.9 SPG on .456/.387/.779 shooting in 29 appearances this past season (30.2 MPG).
Exhibit 10 contracts are non-guaranteed and can be converted to two-way contracts. Assuming all three deals are finalized, each player could earn a bonus worth up to $91K (on top of his G League salary) if he’s waived before the season starts and spends at least 60 days with the Noblesville Boom, Indiana’s NBAGL affiliate.
