They missed the playoffs for the first time in eight years with a disappointing 39–43 record, sixth in the Central Division.  Reggie Miller averaged 21.6 points per game and led the league with 229 three-point field goals.  At midseason, the Pacers brought back playmaker Mark Jackson in exchange for Eddie Johnson after a brief stint with the Denver Nuggets.

(The suffix "-itis" denotes diseases characterized by inflammation.)  The term tendinitis is generally reserved for tendon injuries that involve larger-scale acute injuries accompanied by inflammation.
