Brown Traded to Pacers, Out Friday; Expected Backup Role

Kobe Brown has been traded to the Indiana Pacers along with Ivica Zubac in a multi-player deal. He is ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks as the trade is pending, with his Pacers debut likely Sunday against the Raptors. Brown is expected to serve as a backup to Pascal Siakam. With career averages of 2.3 points and 1.5 rebounds over 118 games, he is considered unlikely to gain significant fantasy value in Indiana.
