League Search Page > NBA > Indiana Pacers > Roster & Statistics
The 1996–97 Indiana Pacers relied on Reggie Miller as their primary offensive weapon, with Rik Smits supplying efficient interior scoring and Mark Jackson controlling the offense through his playmaking. Dale Davis provided rebounding and defensive presence in the frontcourt, while the roster received balanced support throughout the rotation. The statistical profile reflects a team built on efficient offense, strong ball movement, and solid interior play rather than overwhelming scoring from a single source.
