by | Jul 19, 2025

On Friday, former ECU men’s basketball player RJ Felton played for the Indiana Pacers in their third straight summer league game.

Felton and the Pacers beat the New Orleans Pelicans, 113-104. Felton played 4:36 and had two points on 1-of-2 shooting with a rebound.

Reports indicate his night was cut short after he injured his ankle. He entered the game with 5:23 left in the first quarter and left with less than a minute left. He didn’t return after seeing increased playing time in the previous two games.

It was the last Summer League game for the Pacers.
