The 2024-25 NBA season is approaching, and the Indiana Pacers will get going later this month. Last year, no Pacers player won any of the league's awards, though Tyrese Haliburton was named to the All-NBA Third Team. To this day, the last member of the blue and gold to earn an individual award was guard Victor Oladipo in 2018 — back then, he won the league's Most Improved Player title. Could this be the year that an Indiana player is an award winner again ..read more

Zach Chu, who spent the last three years as the Manager of Game Strategy and Analytics for the Indiana Pacers, is moving on from the team for a similar role elsewhere.

"We want to be forward thinking as we navigate the rapidly changing landscape of college basketball," Enfield said in a team-issued statement ..read more

The Indiana Pacers 2024-25 season begins next month, and there will be plenty of individual milestones to track throughout the season. Last year, Myles Turner set Indiana's franchise record for total blocks. This year, it's exceedingly unlikely that any member of Indiana's roster will set a franchise career benchmark ..read more

In a recent interview with John Karalis in Boston Sports Journal, Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said that the Celtics 2024 playoff series against the Indiana Pacers was their toughest battle during the postseason. "That Indiana series was by far the toughest series, and we swept them, but it should have went [to] game seven," Mazzulla said in the interview, which also aired on the Locked On Celtics podcast ..read more

With a sparkling 16-3 playoff record, it didn't seem like the Boston Celtics faced much resistance en route to winning the 2024 NBA title. Because while the series ended up being very short, Mazzulla said one team did push the Celtics more than they anticipated. It was the Indiana Pacers, who the Celtics swept in the Eastern Conference Finals, but not without a big fight. In a new interview with Boston Sports Journal's John Karalis, Mazzulla claims that the Pacers made the Celtics sweat more than any other squad they faced in the postseason ..read more

This past week, the 2024 G League Fall Invitational took place, and it featured some Indiana Pacers connections. Isaiah Wong, who spent last season on a two-way contract with Indiana, and Keisei Tominaga, who is set to join the Pacers organization soon, were both participants in the event. This year's Fall Invitational featured a pair of games between a squad called G League United and KK Mega, a Serbian club that has rostered many NBA players in recent seasons. Wong has yet to sign with a team for the coming season after spending summer league with the Phoenix Suns ..read more

The Indiana Pacers best season, at least by individual accolades, came from a power forward. Jermaine O'Neal was a top-three MVP finisher and Second-Team All-NBA talent at his best, and it's a defining season for the Pacers franchise. The top-five seasons by a Pacers power forward are hard to determine, though ..read more

It's been 51 years since the Knicks won a championship and they've been to the Finals only twice in that span, but this may be their best chance to return. OG Anunoby was re-signed with the express purpose of defending Tatum and Brown. Mikal Bridges was acquired from the Nets to defend elite shooting guards and small forwards. Jalen Brunson is coming off a brilliant second season in New York and Julius Randle is healthy and should be a major factor ..read more

One of the few remaining items on the Indiana Pacers 2024 offseason checklist is their rookie scale team options, but it's an easy item for the team to navigate. Outside of considering an extension for center Isaiah Jackson, the Pacers don't have much in terms of roster decisions to consider this summer. For players on rookie scale deals, their contracts have two team options — they cover the third and fourth seasons of the deal. For example, as a player on a rookie-scale deal enters their second season, their third-year team option must have a decision made ..read more
