The 2011–12 Indiana Pacers season was Indiana's 45th season as a franchise and 36th season in the NBA. The Pacers finished the regular season with a 42–24 record and secured a spot in the 2012 NBA playoffs as the 3rd best team in the Eastern Conference. After eliminating the Orlando Magic in the first round, Indiana lost in the East semi-finals series against the eventual champion Miami Heat in six games.

In the offseason, the team drafted future multi-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, who was later traded to the San Antonio Spurs.

Many players signed with teams from other leagues due to the 2011 NBA lockout. FIBA allows players under NBA contracts to sign and play for teams from other leagues if the contracts have opt-out clauses that allow the players to return to the NBA if the lockout ends.[9] The Chinese Basketball Association, however, only allows its clubs to sign foreign free agents who could play for at least the entire season.[10]
