A wave of excitement has swept through the basketball world as Indiana Pacers legend Chris Mullin makes a triumphant return to his former team — this time, not as a player, but as a Senior Coaching Advisor.

The announcement was made earlier today at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where the Pacers organization confirmed Mullin’s appointment. Fans, players, and analysts alike are buzzing over the return of one of the franchise’s most respected figures.

Chris Mullin, a five-time NBA All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist, enjoyed a storied career that included key seasons with the Pacers during the late 1990s. Known for his sharp shooting, high basketball IQ, and leadership on and off the court, Mullin helped guide Indiana through one of its most competitive eras.

Now, over two decades later, Mullin is back — this time lending his expertise to a new generation of Pacers. As Senior Coaching Advisor, Mullin will work closely with head coach Rick Carlisle and the player development staff, focusing on shooting mechanics, game strategy, and mentoring young stars.

> “Returning to Indiana feels like coming home,” Mullin said at the press conference. “This organization means a great deal to me. I’m excited to help these young guys grow and bring championship-caliber basketball back to the Fieldhouse.”

Team President Kevin Pritchard called the move “a game-changer,” noting Mullin’s vast experience and deep connection to the Pacers’ culture.

> “Chris knows what it means to wear a Pacers jersey. His presence brings a championship mindset that we believe will take this team to the next level,” Pritchard said.

Fans immediately took to social media to celebrate the news, with many recalling Mullin’s legendary three-point shooting and his role in the Pacers’ 2000 NBA Finals run. His return marks another bold step in the franchise’s commitment to blending veteran leadership with young talent like Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin.

This offseason move may prove pivotal as the Pacers aim to solidify themselves as contenders in the Eastern Conference. And with a legend like Mullin back in the fold, expectations just got a lot higher.
