2023-24 season: 47-35
Highlight of the season: Remember that time, before the Tyrese Haliburton injury and before the Buddy Hield trade? Back when the Pacers had the best offense in the league, and Haliburton was averaging almost 27 points and 12 assists? Definitely that time.
How it ended
With less enthusiasm than expected. The Pacers couldn’t stay healthy and ran into the best team in the East, the Boston Celtics. Despite the midseason acquisition of Pascal Siakam, the Pacers lost a ton of floor spacing when they moved Hield to Philadelphia, and never really got around to solving it.
