Ahead of the Indiana Pacers semifinal game in the In-Season Tournament, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the team is thinking bigger than just the inaugural cup win. The Pacers are reportedly looking to add a "big, athletic, two-way wing" on the trade market.

According to Wojnarowski, Indiana is willing to give up draft picks and young talent to get such a player, because they believe they can keep that player long-term. Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby were again mentioned as potential targets for the Pacers, as they have been for nearly a year now.

Following the Pacers success in the In-Season Tournament, Tyrese Haliburton made it clear that he was recruiting other stars to join him in Indiana. Haliburton believes that the Pacers can build a contender with the right talent on the team.

Tyrese Haliburton's "mission" is to use the Indiana Pacers' success in the In-Season Tournament and the regular season to recruit star players to the team, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

"This is a team with salary cap space and draft picks. And [Haliburton] knows that his team president Kevin Pritchard has been really aggressive in the last year trying to chase players like Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby in Toronto, offering big trade packages for players who could become free agents in the near future.

"And what changes the equation for the Pacers now is that they know they have a Pied Piper in Tyrese Haliburton that guys are going to want to play with. And as Haliburton said to me, 'I'm going to get you shots, I'm going to make life easy for you, and we are going to win.'

"And that is really Haliburton's mission right now, to use this tournament, to use this season to start making the case to star players around the league, 'Come play with me in Indiana,'" said Wojnarowski.

Haliburton had 27 points and 15 assists in leading the Pacers to the final of the In-Season Tournament against the Lakers. 

The NBA is hosting its first In-Season Tournament semifinals and finals in Las Vegas with the games played on a neutral court at T-Mobile Arena.

The get-in price for the 2:00 PM local time game between the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks is $20 as of 8:00 AM local time, according to Vivid Seats. 

The evening game between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans, which begins at 6:00 PM PST has a get-in price of $71.

Tyrese Haliburton is expected to miss the Indiana Pacers' game on Saturday night against the Miami Heat due to an illness.

The Pacers will play the Celtics on Monday in the East knockout round of the In-Season Tournament.

Steven Rales has agreed to buy a 15 percent stake in the Indiana Pacers at a valuation of $3.47 billion. 

Rales had already owned five percent of the Pacers, which brings his total stake in the franchise to 20 percent.

The deal includes a possible path to control for Rales should the Simon family ever choose to sell, according to two of the people. That could be the standard “right of first refusal” if the owners ever want to sell, or a “right of first offer,” which gives the buyer an exclusive window to secure a deal before a wider sale process is launched.

The Simon family purchased the Pacers in 1983 for $11 million. 

Rales and his brother are co-founders of Danaher, which has grown via acquisition into a wide-ranging science and technology manufacturing firm. 

The Milwaukee Bucks are the No. 1 seed in the knockout round of the In-Season Tournament in the Eastern Conference and will play the New York Knicks. The Bucks were the East Group B winner, while the Knicks advanced out of East Group B as the wild card.

The Indiana Pacers will host the Boston Celtics in the other knockout round game in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers won East Group A, while the Celtics won East Group C.

Daniel Theis gave up nearly $2.2 million in his buyout with the Indiana Pacers, a source told Keith Smith of Spotrac.

The amount is the same as what Theis will sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he clears waivers.

The Pacers can now create up to $9.7 million in cap space this season.

Daniel Theis has agreed to a contract buyout with the Indiana Pacers and plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers recently lost Mason Plumlee to a sprained MCL and isn't expected to return for several weeks.

Theis had $7.8 million remaining on his $9.1 million this season.

Theis is represented by Aaron Mintz and Steven Heumann of CAA. Mintz also represents Paul George.

Jalen Smith was taken to the hospital after suffering a head injury during the Indiana Pacers' 132-126 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Smith was knocked down in a collision during the second quarter. The Pacers announced that Smith was taken to the hospital "out of an abundance of caution."

The team did not have any further updates on Smith's condition following the game.

The Pacers next play on Sunday against the Magic. 

The Los Angeles Clippers have interest in trading for Daniel Theis of the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers are open to a trade of Theis, but are in no rush to move forward on a deal.

The Clippers have a need at center with Mason Plumlee out for multiple months.
