After the Indiana Pacers lost Ivica Zubac for the season due to a rib fracture, there is an extended injury report for Saturday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The Pacers are listed with 11 players, including Tyrese Haliburton, who is out the entire season, Johnny Furphy, who tore his right ACL, and Zubac. The rest of the Pacers players mentioned on the extended injury list are listed as questionable.
Aaron Nesmith, who finished with 15 points in a 127-119 loss to the Portland Blazers, is dealing with a right ankle injury that could force him to sit. Ben Shepard, who is dealing with a left ankle sprain, is also questionable to face the Blazers. Shepard and Quenten Jackson, both dealing with right calf strains that faced the Blazers on Wednesday, also could miss Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Zubac broke out with 18 points, eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 23 minutes in Wednesday's matchup against the Blazers. The Pacers announced Zubac's diagnosis the next day. He averaged 11.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in his five games with Indiana since his trade from the LA Clippers.
