NBA professional basketball team season
The 2018–19 Indiana Pacers season was Indiana's 52nd season as a franchise and 43rd season in the NBA .
The Pacers endured a major setback when their star player, Victor Oladipo , suffered a season-ending knee injury in a January game against Toronto. Oladipo was nevertheless voted an All-Star reserve. The Pacers struggled after Oladipo's injury, posting a 16–19 record during the rest of the season. Despite their late-season struggles, the Pacers clinched a playoff appearance and matched their 48–34 record from the previous year .
The Pacers were defeated in four games by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. For the second time in three years the Pacers were swept in the playoffs, and the loss marked their fourth consecutive defeat in the first round.
