It’s time for a new voice around Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Larry Bird has stepped down as president of basketball operations for the Pacers, and Kevin Pritchard is taking over.
Indiana is heading into the most critical offseason in franchise history with question marks lurking around every corner, the biggest being Paul George‘s status with the team. With Bird relieving himself of his duties, Pritchard is the new captain of an allegedly sinking ship.
However, there is hope for Pacers basketball. Pritchard has a history of savvy executive decisions from his time as general manager of the Portland Trailblazers.
