The Indiana Pacers have added guards Steven Ashworth and R.J. Felton to their roster, signing both to Exhibit 10 contracts, the team announced Monday.
Ashworth went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft before agreeing to terms with the Pacers as a free agent.
The 25-year-old played his college basketball at Utah State University and Creighton, averaging 16.4 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.1 rebounds during his final season.
Known for his three-point shooting, Ashworth connected on 37.4% of his attempts from beyond the arc while also maintaining a free throw percentage above 90%.
Felton, 23, spent his college career at East Carolina University, where he averaged 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in his senior season.
The guard’s three-point shooting reached 37.6%, showing consistency as a perimeter threat throughout his collegiate career.
Both players are expected to join the Pacers’ G League affiliate, the Noblesville Boom, as part of their Exhibit 10 contracts, giving them an opportunity to develop within Indiana’s system.
This move comes as the Pacers prepare for the 2025–26 season without Tyrese Haliburton, sidelined for the year due to a torn Achilles tendon.
Indiana also enters the season without Myles Turner, who signed with the Milwaukee Bucks, increasing the need for young talent to develop and provide depth.
