Marquette guard Kam Jones, a 2021 Mr. Basketball winner at ECS, was selected No. 38 overall by the Indiana Pacers in the NBA draft.

The Pacers announced Tuesday they have signed second-round pick Kam Jones and re-signed guard Quenton Jackson to a two-way contract.

Jones drew the start but didn't see nearly as many opportunities as RayJ Dennis or Enrique Freeman. The Pacers are likely content to ease the No. 38 overall pick from the 2025 NBA Draft into action, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Jones have more chances to operate both as a scorer and as a floor general as Summer League progresses.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers announced Sunday that the team finalized a trade with the San Antonio Spurs for the draft rights to Kam Jones – the 38th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft – in exchange for a 2030 second-round pick (Sacramento's own) and cash considerations.
