McMillan, 54, was entering the final guaranteed

first round of the playoffs.
McMillan is 90-74 in two years at the helm of the Pacers after
spending three years as an assistant for Indiana.

week.

Onuaku, 21, has averaged 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in six NBA
appearances (one start) over the last two seasons. He spent the
majority of last season in the G League, where he averaged 10.8
points and 9.6 rebounds in 40 games (39 starts) with the Rio
