They may be wearing the blue and gold, but this is not the same brand of Pacers basketball fans should expect to see moving forward.
The Indiana Pacers made the Eastern Conference Finals in each of the last two seasons and were just one win away from their first-ever NBA Championship in 2025. Now, they are 10-35, they stand alone at the bottom of the East, and they are only 0.5 games better than the New Orleans Pelicans, who own the worst record in the NBA.
