Terms of the deal were not imme- diately available Wednesday. Mc- Millan had one year remaining on his previous deal.

The Pacers have gone to the playoffs each season Mc- Millan has been in charge but Indiana has not advanced beyond the first round since 2014. “What Nate has done in four seasons with our franchise merits this extension,” presi- dent of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard said.
