Pacers fire Nate McMillan after being swept in first round of playoffs

The Indiana Pacers have fired coach Nate McMillan after his team was swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Miami Heat.

The move comes a week after the Pacers had reworked McMillan's final year on his contract for 2020-21 and added a team option for 2021-22 in the form of a soft extension.

Houston Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, who is in the final year of his contract, will be an Indiana target should he become available, sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

In four seasons as the Pacers' coach, McMillan had a 183-136 record, including 3-16 in the postseason.
