The 2010–11 Indiana Pacers season was the 44th season of the franchise and 35th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
With a victory over the Washington Wizards on April 6, 2011, the Pacers clinched their first playoff berth since 2006.
However, a first round loss to eventual league MVP Derrick Rose and the top-seeded Chicago Bulls ended the season for the Pacers.
On January 30, head coach Jim O'Brien was fired.
Replacing him was interim head coach Frank Vogel, who would be named as permanent during the lockout following the season.
