Lingering ankle issue could delay Ivica Zubac's Pacers debut

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ivica Zubac may need to wait a while to make his Indiana Pacers debut.

Indiana acquired Zubac and guard Kobe Brown before Thursday’s trade deadline in a deal that sent swingman Bennedict Mathurin, center Isaiah Jackson, a conditional first-round pick this year, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2028 second-round selection to the Los Angeles Clippers.
