The Pacers' search for a new coach has come to an end.
According to Stadium's Shams Charania, Indiana will hire Raptors assistant Nate Bjorkgren as its next head coach. Bjorkgren first interviewed for the job in late September amid the Pacers' wide search. The team's large candidate pool reportedly included former Kings and Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger, Spurs assistant Becky Hammon, Nets associate head coach Jacque Vaughn and more.
The Pacers began their search after firing Nate McMillan in a surprising move on Aug. 26 despite the two sides just agreeing to a contract extension on Aug.
