Dale quickly became the team's main power forward. He was a very important player for the Pacers in the mid-1990s. He often scored double-digit points and grabbed almost double-digit rebounds in games. When he left the Pacers, he was the team's all-time leader in rebounds during their NBA history.

He signed with his first team, the Pacers, on March 4, 2005. He immediately started playing because Jermaine O'Neal was injured. In one game against the Blazers, he scored one point, grabbed seven rebounds, and blocked two shots.
