BROOKLYN, New York \u2014 Former Gonzaga guard Jalen Warley went undrafted in the 2026 NBA Draft, but is now one step closer to stepping onto an NBA court.<\/p>\n
Warley will join the\u00a0Indiana Pacers for the Summer League\u00a0season.<\/p>\n
A Summer League contract allows Warley to play for the Pacers’ Summer League team with the hope of earning a standard contract, two-way contract, or Exhibit 10 deal at the conclusion of Summer League.<\/p>\n
Indiana begins Summer League play in Las Vegas on July 10 against\u00a0the Cleveland Cavaliers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After starting his college career at Florida State, Warley transferred to Gonzaga for his final year of eligibility. The 6-foot-7, 205-pound guard became a key piece for the 2025-26 Zags, as he made 17 starts, played in 33 games, and averaged 21.8 minutes, 7.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, while shooting a career-best 56.6% from the field, 65.2% from the free throw line, and didn’t attempt a three-pointer.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Philadelphia native also led GU with 49 steals and played a major role on both ends of the court for head coach Mark Few and the Zags. Warley finished the season with\u00a0233 points, 160 rebounds and 70 assists.<\/p>\n
Warley wasn’t invited to the\u00a0NBA Combine or the G League Elite Camp, but worked out with several NBA teams this summer.<\/p>\n
Warley becomes the third Zag to have landed some form of NBA contract following the draft: Graham Ike signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Golden State Warriors<\/a>, and Tyon Grant-Foster is joining San Antonio<\/a> for Summer League play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BROOKLYN, New York \u2014 Former Gonzaga guard Jalen Warley went undrafted in the 2026 NBA Draft, but is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":771403,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3774],"tags":[7,113,126,3866,10128,4251,6,114,10125,10127,66,10126,10129],"class_list":["post-771402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-indiana-pacers","tag-basketball","tag-indiana","tag-indiana-pacers","tag-indianapacers","tag-local-sports-news","tag-local-sports","tag-nba","tag-pacers","tag-spokane","tag-spokane-sports","tag-sports","tag-sports-spokane","tag-wasington"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116818650316699063","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=771402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/771403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=771402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=771402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=771402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
