INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Pacers will hold a celebration of life for George McGinnis on Sunday inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Doors will open at 1 p.m. EDT and the celebration of life will begin at 2 p.m. EDT.

McGinnis’ family, friends, and the general public are invited to the event.

McGinnis, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, passed away in December.

He led the ABA Pacers to two of their three championships.

Prior to his professional playing career, McGinnis played college basketball at Indiana University. He led the Big Ten in scoring and rebounding during his sophomore season in Bloomington.

“I loved George McGinnis,” IU head basketball coach Mike Woodson said in a statement after the news of McGinnis’ passing. “He meant so much to not only IU and the state of Indiana, but to the entire basketball world. I looked up to George growing up in Indianapolis. He meant so much to me as a player and more importantly as a man. George was a Hall of Famer on and off the court, and I am going to miss him so much. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the McGinnis family, his friends, and his teammates. Rest easy Big Mac.”

Before playing at IU, McGinnis was a star at Washington High School. He was named 1969 Indiana Mr. Basketball for his performance on the court. His performance helped Washington win the Indiana High School state championship that year.

On Wednesday night, the Pacers tweeted out a photo showing a black patch with the number “30” on their jerseys, which honors McGinnis.

The general public is asked to enter Gainbridge Fieldhouse through the Ascension St. Vincent Entry Pavilion.
