James Wiseman has signed a new two-year contract with the Indiana Pacers, which is structured at the league minimum salary and includes a team option for the second year, according to information from Hoops Rumors.
The contract comes with partial guarantees on both years’ salaries, providing Wiseman with some financial security while allowing the Pacers flexibility in managing their roster.
For the upcoming 2025–26 season, Wiseman’s salary is partially guaranteed for approximately $1 million.
If the Pacers choose to pick up the team option for the 2026–27 season, that salary will also be partially guaranteed, with an estimated value of around $1.13 million.
This setup gives the Pacers the ability to evaluate Wiseman’s development and performance before committing fully to the second year.
Overall, this deal represents a low-risk move for Indiana, offering Wiseman an opportunity to prove himself and earn a longer-term role on the team while providing the franchise with financial and roster flexibility moving forward.
