The Indiana Pacers are actively seeking a center before the trade deadline, targeting Ivica Zubac and Daniel Gafford to bolster their roster in anticipation of Tyrese Haliburton’s return from injury in 2026-27. Zubac, valued by the Los Angeles Clippers and signed through 2027-28, has a steep asking price due to his affordability as a quality center. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks are asking for a first-round pick for Gafford, who recently signed a three-year, $54 million extension. The Pacers are in need of a replacement after losing Myles Turner to the Milwaukee Bucks last offseason.
