Ethan Thompson
Ethan Thompson is off the NBA board for this season: after exiting a two-way deal with Indiana, he signed to play in the EuroLeague rather than pursuing another NBA training-camp shot.
Role
There is no NBA role to report. He was waived by the Pacers on Aug 13, 2026 off a two-way contract, and shortly after agreed to a reported two-year deal with KK Partizan Belgrade in Serbia's ABA League/EuroLeague, a move confirmed by multiple outlets in mid-to-late August 2026 and finalized by early September, with Thompson arriving in Belgrade and speaking to local media on Sept 2, 2026. He holds no spot on any NBA roster and is not in any NBA team's camp as of this check (checked Oct 5, 2026).
Optimists would frame this as a legitimate, reportedly multi-year opportunity with a top EuroLeague club, and note that strong play overseas can sometimes revive NBA interest down the line, though nothing currently reported points to an NBA return this season.
Skeptics simply note he carries no NBA fantasy value whatsoever this season since he is not on an NBA roster, is not in any NBA camp, and is instead playing in the Serbian league and EuroLeague.
Where analysts split
broad agreement: coverage is limited to confirming the overseas signing rather than any debate about his NBA role, since he no longer has one.
Research confidence: reported. Outlooks are grounded in web search over current reporting and refreshed through the season.
