"THERE ARE THREE new banners hanging above the main court inside the Indiana Paces training facility, across the street from the team's arena, Gainbridge Fieldhouse. On one end there are retired jersey numbers, Reggie Miller's 31 and Mel Daniels' 34, and a banner each for Herb Simon, the team's governor since 1983 who was inducted into the Hall of Fame last year,"
"On the other end, a new banner for the 2024-25 Eastern Conference championship quietly hangs. It went up last week -- a few days after the team had already begun training camp -- without a collective acknowledgement from the players and coaches as they prepare for the upcoming season. "It was not here one day, up here the next," Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith told ESPN."
The Indiana Pacers display three new banners at their training facility, including retired jerseys for Reggie Miller and Mel Daniels and banners honoring Herb Simon and Jim Morris. A new banner for the 2024-25 Eastern Conference championship was quietly raised after training camp began. Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith noted the banner appeared suddenly. The team plans a brief commemoration at Gainbridge Fieldhouse before the Oct. 23 regular-season opener versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Coach Rick Carlisle said there will be no major ceremony and characterized the recent run as "a great run."
