The New Orleans Pelicans have acquired the 23 rd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and the draft rights to Mojave King from Indiana in exchange for a 2026 first round pick (originally acquired by New Orleans via Toronto).

The Raptors received the 2026 first-round pick when Pascal Siakam was traded to Indiana in January of 2024. Charania also reports that the Pelicans receive the rights to Mojave King in the deal. The first round of the 2025 NBA Draft is set for Wednesday, June 25th at 7 p.m. on WGNO.

The Pacers are also sending the Pelicans the draft rights to Mojave King, the 47th overall pick in 2023. They are acquiring their own 2026 first-round pick from the Pelicans, which was previously dealt to the Toronto Raptors in the trade involving Pascal Siakam.
