Cameron Hildreth is off the Indiana Pacers roster as of Tuesday, Sep. 15, according to the team's official roster listing, with no contract yet on file. Indiana already carries 17 players and a $203.7 million payroll into the luxury tax for 2026-27.
The move
Cameron Hildreth, a 23-year-old rookie guard, is off the Indiana Pacers roster as of Tuesday, Sep. 15, per the club's official roster. He moves from the Pacers to no roster. No injury report entry preceded this move; none is logged. The transaction was picked up through the team's official roster rather than through any prior reporting, so there is no source or confidence level to cite ahead of the move.
The money
Hildreth's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing or roster move by a day, so his cap hit and any contract years are unknown for now. Indiana's payroll for 2026-27 sits at $203.7 million across 13 contracts, over the luxury tax. The cap is set at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million, putting the Pacers deep into taxpayer territory.
The fit
Hildreth has no NBA line from last season. Indiana's backcourt and wing rotation last season ran through Pascal Siakam at 33.2 minutes and 24.0 points, Bennedict Mathurin at 31.8 minutes and 17.8 points, Andrew Nembhard at 31.3 minutes and 16.9 points, and Aaron Nesmith at 29.7 minutes and 13.8 points, with Jarace Walker, Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson also in the mix. The Pacers now list 17 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
