The Indiana Pacers signed forward Aaron Nesmith to a two-year contract extension worth $40.4 million, multiple media outlets reported late Monday.
A 2020 lottery pick by the Boston Celtics, Nesmith became a starter after he was traded to the Pacers in July 2022.
Though injuries limited Nesmith to 45 games (37 starts) in 2024-25, he set career highs with 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. He shot 50.7% from the field, 43.1% from 3-point range and 91.3% from the foul line -- which would have qualified him for the 50-40-90 club if he had played enough games.
Only nine qualifying NBA players have produced at least one 50-40-90 season.
During Indiana's postseason run, Nesmith put up 12.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game while shooting 49.2% from deep. He started all 23 playoff games as the Pacers reached the NBA Finals, which they lost in seven games to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In 288 career regular-season games (148 starts) between Boston and Indiana, Nesmith has averaged 8.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
