Following the suspension of the 2019–20 NBA season, the Pacers were one of the 22 teams invited to the NBA Bubble to participate in the final 8 games of the regular season. The Pacers would finish the 2019-2020 regular season with a record of 45-28 and headed into the playoffs as the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference. On August 12, 2020 the team announced that they had extended Nate McMillan's contract. They then matched up with the 5th seeded Miami Heat where they would go on to lose the first round series 4-0 which subsequently ended their 2019-2020 season.
