The Celtics legend had started as a head coach for the Pacers after his playing career ended, and he later accepted a position in the front office in 2003. Bird took a one-year hiatus from the team's president of basketball operations in 2012, but he was hired back to the position just a year later.
General manager Kevin Pritchard will take over for Bird as president.
