The 1991–92 NBA season was the Pacers' 16th season in the National Basketball Association, and 25th season as a franchise.[1] The Pacers struggled early into the season losing 9 of their first 13 games, which led them to a 15–28 record near the end of January. However, they won 25 of their final 39 games, finishing the season fourth in the Central Division with a mediocre 40–42 record. Reggie Miller led the Pacers in scoring with 20.7 points per game, while Chuck Person finished second on the team with 18.5 points per game. Detlef Schrempf was named Sixth Man of The Year for the second consecutive season, averaging 17.3 points per game off the bench.[2] In the first round of the playoffs, they faced the Boston Celtics for the second straight season, where they were swept in three straight games. Following the season, Person and Micheal Williams were both traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
