If the Indiana Pacers and their fans could, they would probably just fast-forward through the 2025-26 NBA season and get it over with. Unfortunately for them, the season still isn't even a month old, and there is a lot of basketball left on the schedule.
Despite being in the NBA Finals not even a year ago, the Pacers find themselves near the bottom of the standings.
With a 1-11 record, they are tied with the Washington Wizards for the worst record in the NBA. And with a 105.2 offensive rating (second-worst in the NBA) and 118.9 defensive rating (eighth-worst), according to Basketball Reference, they are among the worst teams in the league on both sides of the ball.
