Zubac's Pacers Debut Uncertain Amid Ankle Sprain
10 Feb
Summary
- Ivica Zubac is questionable for Tuesday's game with a left ankle sprain.
- Several other Pacers players are also listed with injuries.
- The Pacers acquired Zubac in a trade just before the deadline.
Newly acquired Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks due to a left ankle sprain, potentially delaying his debut with the team. Zubac's injury, a grade 2 sprain initially suffered in December, was a factor in his trade acquisition.
The Pacers also face significant injury concerns with other players. Forward Johnny Furphy has been diagnosed with an ACL tear and is likely out for the season. Additionally, forward Aaron Nesmith (left hand strain), point guard T.J. McConnell (right hamstring soreness), and center Micah Potter (left hip contusion) are all questionable.
Zubac and forward Kobe Brown were acquired by the Pacers just before the trade deadline in a deal involving multiple players and draft picks. Brown, who does not have an injury designation, is expected to be available for the game.
