The Indiana Pacers' roster depth will be crucial to their ability to compete for the top slot in the Eastern Conference after a season marred by COVID procedures and injuries.
The 2022–23 NBA schedule has been made public, and the Indiana Pacers are prepared to enter a new era. The Pacers have had a difficult two seasons since their previous playoff participation in 2020; during that time, they have amassed a 59-95 record. As a result, the franchise’s strategy has evolved. In recent months, they have parted ways with important veterans like Domantas Sabonis, Caris LeVert, and Malcolm Brogdon in order to become younger and acquire assets. With a new outlook and lower expectations, Indiana will try to lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity in 2022–2023. It all begins on October 19 and they will have 82 chances to achieve just that.

Despite having more swingmen than are probably necessary, the Indiana Pacers aren’t expected to make any transactions before the season to break their impasse and improve other aspects of the squad. The PAcers do have one thing to be proud of, despite the dearth of All-Star level players on their roster. The swingman position is filled by the small forward and shooting guard for the squad. Three club members have the potential to play at the All-Star level, and a few more have the capacity to be dependable starters.
