The 2019–20 Indiana Pacers season was the franchise's 53rd season and the 44th season in the NBA.
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[1] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[2] The season for the Pacers and 21 other playoff-contending teams resumed in the 2020 NBA Bubble on July 30, with Indiana finishing the season in the bubble with a 45–28 record and the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Pacers were defeated in four games by the eventual Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs. For the second straight year (having been swept by the Boston Celtics the previous year), and the third time in four years the Pacers were swept in the playoffs, and the loss marked their fifth consecutive defeat in the first round. Head coach Nate McMillan was subsequently fired after four seasons, having failed to win a playoff series with a 3–16 postseason record.
