The Indiana Pacers enjoyed a resilient 2018-19 season, matching their previous year's record of 48-34 to finish second in the Central Division and fifth in the Eastern Conference. Despite facing a significant challenge when All-Star Victor Oladipo suffered a season-ending injury in January, the team showcased impressive depth and defensive grit, leading the league in fewest points allowed per game. Under the guidance of head coach Nate McMillan, the Pacers demonstrated remarkable character by clinching their fourth consecutive playoff berth and remaining a highly competitive force in the East. The 11th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Myles Turner is a two-time league blocks leader and the Indiana Pacers' all-time franchise leader in career blocks who spent 10 seasons as a premier rim protector and stretch big for the organization.
