INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Pacers and assistant coach Mike Wienar have agree to mutually part ways, the team announced on Friday.
“Mike Weinar has been a trusted friend and loyal colleague for 17+ years,” Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said in a statement. “As a coach, he is a proven winner with two National Championship rings with Florida Men’s Basketball in 2006 and 2007, and an NBA Championship ring from our 2011 championship run in Dallas. Mike also played a major role in this year’s historic Finals run with the Pacers. Mike’s exemplary character as a father, husband, and man has been evident to me over nearly two decades. Professional success has followed Mike everywhere he has gone, and will no doubt continue to do so in the future.”
The Pacers play the Oklahoma City Thunder in the regular season opener in a rematch of the 2025 NBA Finals on October 23.
Indiana made the NBA Finals in 2025 for the first time since 2000.
