Carlisle is considered one of the best coaches in the league and led Indiana to back-to-back deep playoff runs.

Rick Carlisle has agreed to a multi-year extension with the Indiana Pacers, the team confirmed on Tuesday. Carlisle, 65, led the Pacers to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2000, and their second all-time, this past season. In pursuit of their first NBA championship, they fell to the 68-win Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games.

The Sixers doubled down on their Big Three model last September when they signed Embiid to a three-year max extension that’s worth a projected $187.6 million. Embiid played only 19 games, largely due to his balky left knee, and it’s currently unclear whether he’ll be cleared to participate by the start of training camp.
