The 2022–23 Indiana Pacers season was the 56th season of the franchise and the 46th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rick Carlisle served his 6th season as head coach of the franchise. During the offseason, the team signed restricted free-agent Deandre Ayton to a four–year, $133 million offer sheet, the largest in league history, before it was matched by the Phoenix Suns.[1][2][3] The team also traded away Malcolm Brogdon in exchange for a package surrounding Aaron Nesmith, Daniel Theis, and a 2023 first–round pick. In the 2022 NBA draft, the team selected Bennedict Mathurin 6th overall alongside standout second rounder Andrew Nembhard.

Tyrese Haliburton earned his first NBA All–Star appearance in 2023 while also participating in the 2023 NBA Three–Point Contest alongside teammate Buddy Hield. During the season, Hield broke Reggie Miller's record of most three-pointers made in a season in Pacers history. The team acquired Jordan Nwora and former Pacer George Hill at the trade deadline. Bennedict Mathurin broke Chris Duarte's record for most three–pointers made as a rookie in Pacers franchise history.[4]

The Pacers were eliminated from postseason contention on April 2, 2023 following their loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls’ win over the Memphis Grizzlies.[5]
