Pacers Extend Pre-Draft Workout Invite to Sam Hoiberg

Nebraska guard Sam Hoiberg, the former walk-on turned tough, reliable contributor and son of coach Fred Hoiberg, earned a spot in Indiana Pacers’ first pre-draft workout session for the 2026 NBA Draft. Hoiberg is among 12 prospects (and one of five guards) invited to work out in Indianapolis, with four Big Ten alums in the group. At 6-foot, 180 pounds, he faces long odds for an NBA career, but the invite highlights his continued development and could help Nebraska’s recruiting story as development-focused players push for pro opportunities; even if not drafted, Hoiberg could pursue Summer League or G League options.
