Sports season
The 1971–72 ABA season was the fifth season of the American Basketball Association. The Indiana Pacers won the championship, defeating the New York Nets, 4 games to 2, in the ABA Finals.
For the first time in the league's history, no franchise moved to a different state from the previous season. The only name change involved the Dallas Chaparrals , who were able to secure a lease in Dallas for the season and were re-named from the previous season's Texas Chaparrals.
