Indiana Pacers two-way contract players Quenton Jackson and Oscar Tshiebwe have received a qualifying offer ahead of 2024 free agency,
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers two-way contract players Quenton Jackson and Oscar Tshiebwe both received a qualifying offer from the Pacers, a league source toldSince both players have only been on a two-way deal with Indiana for one season, their qualifying offer is a two-way agreement for one-year. They are free to sign it at any time, if they are so inclined — though a two-way contract is inexpensive and could be waived by Indiana with little penalty.
With both players as restricted free agents, the Pacers have the right of first refusal and can match a contract Jackson or Tshiebwe would sign with another team. It should be noted that getting a two-way qualifying offer does not ensure a player will be retained — forward Cassius Stanley, for example, received a two-way qualifying offer from Indiana in 2021, but it was pulled during summer league. Stanley never returned to the Pacers.
Thsiebwe played in eight games for the Pacers last season and averaged 3.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game. He had a few stints in Indiana's playing rotation due to injuries. The 24-year old was far more dominant in the G League, where he wasThe young center participated in Rising Stars festivities during NBA All-Star weekend and was a member of the G League Next Up game, essentially a G League All-Star game.
With the Pacers, Jackson made three appearances and averaged 0.7 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per night. He holds two years of experience in the NBA — his first campaign was partially with the Washington Wizards. Jackson and Tshiebwe are worth monitoring during the offseason as restricted free agents. They may be in play for two-way deals with the blue and gold — as couldTony East is the Publisher of AllPacers.
