The Indiana Pacers’ 2021-22 NBA season was marked by transition and challenges, finishing with a 25-57 record. Struggles with injuries and consistency led to their lowest win total since the 1984-85 season. Head coach Rick Carlisle, in his first season back with the Pacers, faced difficulties in implementing his system amidst roster changes.
Midseason moves included trading Domantas Sabonis to the Sacramento Kings in a blockbuster deal that brought Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield to Indiana, signaling a shift towards rebuilding. Haliburton showed promise, averaging over 17 points and 9 assists per game after joining the team, injecting hope for the future.
The Pacers missed the playoffs for a second consecutive year, underscoring the need for development and strategic acquisitions in the upcoming offseason to bolster their competitiveness in the Eastern Conference.
