BREAKING: Reggie Miller Returns to the Indiana Pacers as Co-Owner in Monumental Move
Indianapolis, June 2025 — In a move that has sent shockwaves throughout the basketball world and electrified the hearts of Indiana Pacers fans everywhere, the legendary Reggie Miller — the franchise’s all-time leading scorer and spiritual cornerstone — is making a triumphant return to the team. Not as a player or commentator this time, but as a co-owner.
The announcement came directly from the Herb Simon family, who have owned the Pacers for over four decades. In a heartfelt press conference held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Herb Simon himself stood before the media, joined by Reggie Miller and top representatives from the Pacers’ front office, to unveil this new chapter in the franchise’s history.
> “There’s only one Reggie Miller,” Simon said, voice thick with emotion. “He is the embodiment of Pacers basketball — loyalty, fire, and a deep connection to our community. We couldn’t think of anyone more deserving to share in the stewardship of this team’s future.”

Who could forget his infamous “8 points in 9 seconds” miracle against the New York Knicks in the 1995 playoffs — a sequence so impossible it has become legend? Or his jawing battles with Spike Lee from the Madison Square Garden sidelines, a theater of intensity that personified the man?
But Miller wasn’t just a scorer — he was a leader, a showman, and a fierce competitor who transformed a small-market franchise into a perennial playoff contender. Now, 20 years after retiring in 2005, Reggie’s return as co-owner brings things full circle.
> “This is home,” Miller said, as cheers erupted from the crowd of invited fans and reporters. “Indiana raised me. The Pacers gave me everything. I bled blue and gold my entire career — and now I get to be part of building its future. This is more than business. This is family.”
The Journey From Hardwood to Boardroom
Since retiring, Reggie Miller has remained a prominent voice in the basketball world through his work as an analyst for TNT’s “Inside the NBA.” He’s also served as a mentor for young players, an advocate for community work in Indiana, and a constant presence at Pac
