The 2023–24 Indiana Pacers season is the 57th season of the franchise and the 47th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rick Carlisle returned for his 7th season as head coach while the franchise hired former Pacers Jim Boylen and Shayne Whittington as assistants.

During the 2023 NBA draft, the franchise most notably acquired Jarace Walker with the 8th overall selection. On July 1, 2023, Tyrese Haliburton agreed to a max contract extension with the Pacers worth up to $260 million over five years.[1] During the offseason, the team acquired the services of Obi Toppin and Bruce Brown. On January 17, 2024, the Pacers acquired Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora, Kira Lewis Jr., and three first-round draft picks.[2]

On November 4, 2023, Haliburton tied a career–high 43 points and added 12 assists, becoming the first player in Pacers franchise history to record at least 40+ points and 10+ assists in a game.[3] On November 6, 2023, head coach Rick Carlisle earned his 900th career win, in a 152–111 win over rookie Victor Wembanyama, Gregg Popovich, and the San Antonio Spurs.[4]

### In-Season Tournament[edit]

Main article: 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament

This will be the first regular season where all the NBA teams will compete in a mid-season tournament setting due to the implementation of the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament.[8][9] During the in-season tournament period, the Pacers will compete in Group A of the Eastern Conference, which will include the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks, and Detroit Pistons. Following high-scoring wins against the Cavaliers, 76ers, and Hawks, the Pacers were automatic winners of Group A in the Eastern Conference before they even played their final in-season tournament game in November against the Pistons. With a 4–0 record, the Pacers qualified for the knockout elimination rounds of the In-Season Tournament. They lost to the Lakers in the final, 123–109.[10]
