Ivica Zubac News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Double-doubles despite loss Zubac notched 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists in 19 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Zubac recorded his second double-double of the season, and his first since returning from an ankle injury that cost him five games. He was dealing with some foul trouble, which may have contributed to him playing just 19 minutes. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction and should approach closer to 30 minutes per game in the not too distant future.

Held to one point Zubac produced one point (0-5 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Zubac endured a miserable offensive showing, missing all five of his field-goal attempts and finishing with a team-worst minus-22 rating. The veteran center also failed to record a steal or block, while Indiana found more success with its reserve frontcourt options. Despite his established rebounding upside, Zubac's limited playing time and lack of production made this a particularly disappointing fantasy outing in his return from injury.

Returning versus Memphis Zubac (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Alex Golden of SI.com reports.

Impact Zubac will return Wednesday after missing the last five regular-season games due to an ankle injury. While Zubac may see fewer minutes in his first game back from the layoff, his presence will likely result in Jay Huff retreating to the bench.

Might return Wednesday Zubac (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Zubac has missed the last five regular-season games due to an ankle injury. While it's not clear how healthy he is, the questionable designation at least suggests he's moving in the right direction. If Zubac is sidelined again Wednesday versus Memphis, Jay Huff is expected to remain in the starting lineup at the five.

Remains out indefinitely Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Zubac is slated to miss a fifth straight game due to an ankle sprain, and while the Pacers were optimistic about a quick return, it's fair to treat the big man as week-to-week, given he continues to be ruled out on the team's initial injury report. In the starting center's absence, Jay Huff and Larry Nance (illness) have handled increased roles.

Ruled out for Sunday Zubac (ankle) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact This will be Zubac's fourth consecutive game on the sidelines, which should result in another start for Jay Huff and extended minutes for Larry Nance. Zubac's next chance to play will come Monday against the Hawks.

Impact Coach Rick Carlisle stated that the big man had a lot of swelling immediately following Sunday's game, but that Zubac was doing better Monday. The team will presumably continue to evaluate him over the next few days to determine when he can return to game action. In the meantime, look for Jay Huff, who drew the start at center Monday night against Milwaukee, to see opportunities with the first unit.

Listed out for Monday Zubac (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact No surprises here after coach Rick Carlisle hinted at Zubac's absence following his injury Sunday night. The center is dealing with some swelling, but it's currently unclear how long this will sideline him for. Look for Jay Huff and possibly Larry Nance to pick up some minutes in the meantime.

Impact Zubac rolled his ankle during Sunday's game, and with a quick turnaround, it seems unlikely he'll be ready to roll by Monday. Jay Huff started the second half of Sunday's game and finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three swats over 21 minutes, so he could make for an attractive streamer Monday.

Won't return Sunday Zubac (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Zubac left the game in the first quarter after rolling his left ankle and will not be able to return. Indiana plays the second half of the back-to-back set tomorrow against the Bucks, making it likely that Zubac will be forced to miss time. Jay Huff figures to see an expanded role while Zubac is out.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Sunday Zubac is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Brooklyn due to a left ankle sprain, Pat Boylan of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

Impact Zubac rolled his ankle stepping on Kelly Oubre's foot, and while he tried to play through it for a few possessions, he eventually requested out and limped back to the locker room. Larry Nance, Jay Huff and Obi Toppin would help pick up the slack if Zubac needs to miss time.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down 11 rebounds in loss Zubac amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block over 24 minutes during Friday's 121-105 loss to Dallas.

Impact Zubac was impressive on the offensive glass, pulling down four rebounds on that end, and this was his second straight game with double digit boards. He also only got to the line twice, so the 1-for-2 mark at the stripe won't do your fantasy team much damage. Zubac will be a solid field goal percentage booster and an elite source of rebounds this season.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Big double-double in opener Zubac ended Wednesday's 123-120 victory over the Pelicans with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds and two blocks across 34 minutes.

Impact Zubac went toe-to-toe with New Orleans' Yves Missi down low, with both big men posting big double-doubles in the season opener. Now healthy following an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, Zubac should be a strong source of swats and boards to go with a high field-goal percentage going forward.
