The Pacers claim that they aren't one of 12 teams interested in borrowing money from the NBA.
The NBA has set up $200 million to distribute to interested teams, meaning that between $13 million and $20 million will be available to each of the dozen teams involved.
"We are not involved in it at all," Pacers co-owner Herb Simon said. "It has nothing to do with us."
Forbes magazine reported the Pacers lost $6 million last year, though Simon has said it was much more.

The Pacers coughed up a very winnable game in the final seconds against the Knicks on Monday night, and there are varying opinions as to who's at fault.
With the game tied 119-119, center Jeff Foster called a timeout after failing to get the ball in bounds. He had the same issue on the team's second attempt, but he didn't call a timeout and Nate Robinson intercepted a pass which appeared to be intended for Jarrett Jack that led to the game-winning layup.
"We ran a back screen for Jarrett, he didn't cut and Jeff didn't call a timeout," O'Brien said.
Jack disagreed.
"Maybe I should have saw (the back cut), but he didn't draw it up going to the rim," Jack said. ". . . We had trouble getting open. Jeff thought somebody was going one way, he threw it up there. They were able to get a steal and convert a layup."
O'Brien's postgame interview lasted just seconds after the 123-119 loss.
"We played with a lot of guts, missing three starters," O'Brien said as his second and final answer. "I thought we played well enough on the road. We just didn't pull it out at the end."

Pacers forward Mike Dunleavy will likely miss the remainder of the regular season with an ongoing knee problem.
"I think he's done for the year," coach Jim O'Brien said. "That's where I think he is. Whether he thinks he is or somebody else does, I'm proceeding as if he's going to be done for the rest of the year."
Dunleavy, who has only played in 18 games this season, hasn't appeared on the court in two weeks.
"He's looking at all his options," O'Brien said. "It's disappointing for him, and also something that's difficult for the franchise to deal with because he makes a lot of money, deservedly so, but you're operating on a situation where if you don't have somebody like that, that you're operating on less of a budget. That's a difficult situation."
