BREAKING: Assistant Coach Mike Weinar, Pacers Mutually Agree to Part Ways
In a surprising turn of events, the Indiana Pacers and assistant coach Mike Weinar have officially agreed to part ways, ending his tenure with the team. The decision, described as mutual, comes at a time when the Pacers are steadily building momentum behind All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton and head coach Rick Carlisle’s vision for the franchise.
Weinar, who joined Indiana after spending more than a decade with the Dallas Mavericks, was a respected voice on the Pacers’ bench. Known for his tactical approach and ability to connect with players, he played a key role in developing Indiana’s offensive schemes and mentoring young talent. His presence was also deeply valued for the championship pedigree he brought from his time in Dallas, where he contributed to the Mavericks’ 2011 NBA title run.
While the details of his departure remain undisclosed, both sides emphasized that the move was made amicably. For Indiana, this signals another step in reshaping their coaching structure as they continue to evolve into a playoff contender in the Eastern Conference. For Weinar, it opens the door to new opportunities—whether in the NBA, college ranks, or even a return to a front office role.
Fans will remember Weinar’s time in Indiana for his commitment, professionalism, and the behind-the-scenes influence he had in helping mold the Pacers into one of the league’s most exciting young teams.
