After relatively successful spells with the Seattle SuperSonics and Portland Trail Blazers, Nate McMillan will now be tasked with turning the Indiana Pacers into a championship team after taking over as head coach.
Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reported the Pacers and McMillan are finalizing a deal for him to be their next coach. CBS Sports' Ken Berger confirmed the report.
Since July 2013, McMillan has been on the Pacers' staff, working as an assistant to head coach Frank Vogel. Before that, he spent five years in Seattle and seven years in Portland, compiling a 478-452 overall record.
