The 2015–16 Indiana Pacers season was Indiana's 49th season as a franchise and 40th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). It was also the team's sixth and final season under head coach, Frank Vogel. Out of every player on this team Myles Turner is the only one who is still currently on the Pacers.
With a healthy Paul George returning to form, the Pacers clinched a playoff spot after defeating the Brooklyn Nets on April 10. The victory eliminated the Chicago Bulls from playoff contention. The Pacers finished the regular season with a record of 45–37, earning them the seventh seed in the East. They were matched up against the second seeded Toronto Raptors in the first round, but were eliminated in a decisive seven-game series at the end.
