Ivica Zubac Ruled Out for Friday; Return Timeline Remains Uncertain

Ivica Zubac has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Lakers as he continues to recover from a left ankle sprain sustained February 2. While the Pacers expect him to return before the end of the season, there is no specific timeline for his debut with the team following his trade from the Clippers. His next potential opportunity to play is Sunday against the Trail Blazers, though his availability for that contest remains unconfirmed.
