The Indiana Pacers are entering a challenging 2025-26 NBA season, having lost star guard Tyrese Haliburton to injury and center Myles Turner to free agency. After their impressive run to the Finals in 2025, expectations have shifted to a rebuilding phase.

In an attempt to navigate this transition, they have signed Keisei Tominaga, a promising guard who averaged 15.1 points with Nebraska in the 2023-24 season and also played for Japan in international competitions. While Tominaga's defensive skills are questionable, he could make an impact in Summer League and potentially secure a G League roster spot.
