Move on from Nate Bjorkgren after one season

Earlier in the week, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Nate Bjorkgren’s future in Indiana is uncertain because of issues between the players and staff on the roster. All season long, it has seemed like something is not right with Indiana as they have underachieved expectations all year long.

They have a roster that is capable of contending in the Eastern Conference, yet they are close to being the 10-seed in the conference! With TJ Warren out for the year due to a foot injury, the Pacers are obviously losing a talented player on the wing, but with Brogdon, Sabonis and LeVert, there is no reason why they should be struggling.

Nate Bjorkgren has to be the one to blame for the lack of production from this team and after the other night and the incident that happened between Greg Foster and Goga Bitadze, this is a direct reflection on the culture Bjorkgren has created. 

There is no telling what has happened behind closed doors and in the locker room this season since the NBA is not allowing media access to the locker rooms this year, but based on the look of things on the court and everyone’s body language that is involved with this organization, there is more going on than what we know. 

It would not be a shock to see Bjorkgren out as the head coach of Indiana after just one season and if the reports from Woj and others are true, then the Pacers could be looking for another head coach this offseason.
