The 2021–22 Indiana Pacers season will be Indiana's 55th season as a franchise and 46th season in the NBA. Following a failed involvement in the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2015, Nate Bjorkgren was fired on June 9, 2021. [1][2] The Pacers would later re-hire Rick Carlisle back as the new head coach, reuniting him with the Pacers for their second stint after coaching the team from 2003 to 2007. [3]
