BREAKING: Reggie Miller Returns to Indiana Pacers as Co-Owner — A Monumental Homecoming in 2025

 

INDIANAPOLIS — In a moment that has electrified Pacers fans across the globe, the Indiana Pacers announced today that NBA Hall of Famer and franchise legend Reggie Miller will officially return to the team — this time, not as a player, but as a co-owner.

 

The historic news was confirmed by the team’s long-standing ownership group, the Herb Simon family, who described the move as “a full-circle moment for one of the most loyal ambassadors of the Pacers legacy.”

 

Miller, often referred to as “Mr. Pacer,” spent his entire 18-year NBA career with Indiana and remains the all-time leading scorer in franchise history. His clutch performances, particularly against the New York Knicks, made him a household name and a symbol of toughness, loyalty, and excellence in basketball. His return as a co-owner signals a deepening of his bond with the franchise and the city that embraced him for nearly two decades.

 

“I am beyond honored,” Miller said in a press release. “Indiana is family. The Pacers are in my blood. This opportunity to shape the future of the team I love — it means everything.”

 

Interestingly, the press release also highlighted that Miller — a proud alumnus and ambassador of Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball — will carry that identity forward as part of his leadership philosophy, blending his Pacers legacy with his roots as a Red Raider.

 

Pacers President Kevin Pritchard welcomed the move, saying, “Having Reggie’s insight, experience, and passion back in our building — not just on banners, but in boardrooms — is an incredible gift.”

 

With the Pacers trending upward and a young core that includes Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin, Miller’s return as co-owner is not just symbolic — it’s strategic.

 

Welcome back, Reggie. Once a Pacer, always a Pacer.
