Report: Pacers acquire Jalen Smith from Suns before trade deadline

This is the third trade the Indiana Pacers made this week before Thursday's deadline at 3 p.m. ET.

INDIANAPOLIS — NOTE: The video above is from a previous report about the Pacers' six-player trade with the Sacramento Kings involving Domantas Sabonis.

The Indiana Pacers are reportedly making another trade before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline.

According to ESPN, the Pacers are finalizing a trade to send small forward Torrey Craig to the Phoenix Suns for power forward Jalen Smith and a future second-round pick in the NBA draft.

The Pacers have already made two notable trades this week. On Tuesday, the team traded two-time NBA All-Star Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb and a 2027 second-round draft pick to the Sacramento Kings for Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson. And before that, the Pacers traded Caris LeVert to the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as a 2022 second-round pick via Miami. In return, the Pacers got Ricky Rubio, along with a handful of picks, including a lottery-projected first-round pick this year.
