With a healthy Paul George returning to form, the Pacers clinched a playoff spot after defeating the Brooklyn Nets on April 10. The victory eliminated the Chicago Bulls from playoff contention. The Pacers finished the regular season with a record of 45–37, earning them the seventh seed in the East. They were matched up against the second seeded Toronto Raptors in the first round, but were eliminated in a decisive seven-game series at the end.
As of 2025, the last player from this team still on the Pacers roster is Myles Turner, who was a rookie during this season.
For the first time since 2007–08, Roy Hibbert was not on the roster as he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on July 9, 2015.
