The 2020–21 Indiana Pacers season was Indiana's 54th season as a franchise and 45th season in the NBA. The Pacers replaced Nate McMillan,[1] with former Toronto Raptors assistant coach Nate Bjorkgren.[2] During the season, the team acquired Caris LeVert in exchange for Victor Oladipo.
The Pacers missed the playoffs for the first time since 2015 following a loss to the Washington Wizards in the play-in tournament, ending a six-year playoff streak. Due to this, with multiple other factors, Bjorkgren was fired.
