Official waiver in Indiana
The Indiana Pacers have waived forward Kowacie Reeves Jr., effective September 21, leaving him without an NBA team after a waiver transaction that confirms his exit from the main roster. The move is official and fits the usual training camp routine for players tied to G League affiliate Noblesville Boom.
The transaction appears in NBA.com oficial and was reported by Hoops Rumors, which places the cut on Monday after Reeves Jr. signed an Exhibit 10 contract over the prior weekend alongside other camp profiles.
Reeves Jr. profile
Reeves Jr., a 6-foot-7 forward out of Georgia Tech, reached Indiana as an undrafted player after averaging 15.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals with the Yellow Jackets last college season. He signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Pacers on June 24 and played three Summer League games with averages of 2.0 points and 3.0 rebounds.
Hoops Rumors confirms the official waiver and leaves Reeves Jr. as a free agent while his next step within the franchise ecosystem is defined, with G League affiliate Noblesville Boom a possible destination if Indiana acquires his rights.
What the waiver means
By leaving the Pacers main roster, Reeves Jr. no longer occupies a preseason spot and becomes a free agent until his fit within the project is defined. The move does not necessarily signal a break with Indiana, but rather the usual path between an Exhibit 10 contract and a G League or market destination.
For Indiana, the cut fits the development structure the Pacers are consolidating before training camp, in the same window that also saw Jalen Warley released after signing an Exhibit 10 deal the prior weekend.
Roster context
Reeves Jr. waiver comes on September 21, within the procedural wave before training camp. The transaction repeats the dynamic the Pacers have used with other camp profiles signed to non-guaranteed deals in this NBA 2026/27 market window.
