The 2009-10 Indiana Pacers had a challenging season, finishing with a 32-50 record, placing them fourth in the Central Division and outside the playoff picture. Despite the efforts of standout player Danny Granger, who led the team with an average of 24.1 points per game, the Pacers struggled to find consistency.
Under head coach Jim O’Brien, the team faced issues with injuries and lacked the depth to compete effectively in the Eastern Conference. Roy Hibbert showed promise with his development, contributing defensively and improving his offensive game. The Pacers’ season was marked by key victories, yet they were unable to string together enough wins to make a playoff run. The team’s performance highlighted areas in need of improvement, particularly on defense and in building a more robust supporting cast around Granger.
- Regular Season Record: 32-50
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
