The 1990-91 NBA season was Indiana's 15th season in the NBA and 24th season as a franchise.[1] After replacing Dick Versace with Bob Hill as head coach, the Pacers played around 500. again by finishing fifth in the Central Division with a 41–41 record. Detlef Schrempf was named Sixth Man of The Year, as he averaged 16.1 points per game off the bench. A heartbreaking five-game defeat to Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics kept the Pacers from advancing in the playoffs. In the series, the Pacers came close to taking the final two games.

For the season, the Pacers changed their logo and uniforms. The jerseys lasted until 1997, while their primary logo lasted until 2005.
