INDIANAPOLIS – In a move that has generated excitement among fans and pundits alike, Jay Huff is set to return to the same team he joined last season – the Indiana Pacers. For the first time in his six-year NBA career, Huff will have the luxury of staying with one organization for an entire offseason, something he has not experienced since joining the Los Angeles Lakers in 2021.

After being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2025 offseason, Huff's life and basketball focus were once again disrupted. However, this time around, he has finally found stability with the Pacers, who acquired him from the Grizzlies in exchange for a second-round draft pick and a pick swap.

Chemistry with Haliburton

Huff will be reunited with his star teammate, Tyrese Haliburton, with whom he played limited minutes last season due to injuries. The 25-year-old big man has been working tirelessly in the weight room to bulk up and improve his jumper, a move that has paid off as he has gained between 10 and 15 pounds this offseason.
