One of the big questions for the NBA offseason for the Pacers is how to best use the cap space that they have on the roster. Currently, there are a handful of players that continue on contracts next year while some players fall off. We will overview the entire cap situation for the Pacers and the contracts that they currently have with all of their players.

In 22-23, the Pacers had a total salary of $122 million where the cap was ~124 million, but much of that salary came later in the season when Myles Turner was extended and given a big raise for the 22-23 season.

In the 23-24 season, the cap is projected to be ~$134 million, and the Pacers as a whole only have $95 million on the books. That gives the team nearly $40 million dollars of cap space to play with this offseason, whether they want to give big-time raises to players like Haliburton or they want to pursue a star, they will have the money to do so.

But what is that $95 million dollars of salary come from? Well we are glad you asked, here is how the Pacers current salaries for all of their players breaks down.
