(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Pacers announced Wednesday that co-owner Herb Simon would assume the duties of chairman and chief executive officer of Pacers Sports and Entertainment.

The team also announced that Jim Morris will succeed Donnie Walsh as President of Pacers Sports and Entertainment. Morris will oversee business operations for the Pacers, the Indiana Fever and Conseco Fieldhouse.
