The Indiana Pacers weren’t able to achieve all of their goals last season, but they still like a lot about 2024-25.

One of the things they loved the most was the coaching of Rick Carlisle.

Because of that, the team just announced that they have signed Carlisle to a multi-year extension.

 

Carlisle

Carlisle has been coaching in the NBA since the 1989-90 season, when he was with the New Jersey Nets as an assistant.

After that, he moved on to the Portland Trail Blazers and then the Pacers.

His first head coaching gig was with the Detroit Pistons.

After a couple of seasons with them, he traveled to Indiana for his first role as their head coach.

But then he found his biggest success leading the Dallas Mavericks, where he became a champion for the first time.

His second run with the Pacers looks like it might be better than the first.

He has transformed the team into a high-flying, high-scoring squad that can compete with anyone else in the East.

The season ahead could be filled with difficulties because they will be without Tyrese Haliburton, but there is still every reason to believe this is a squad that could be in the mix for years to come.

The details of Carlisle’s new deal weren’t released, but the front office is sure to be making him very happy.

They love what he is doing for the team and want him around for a long time.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
