Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac is returning to the lineup after a left ankle sprain, Marc Stein of The Stein Line reported Wednesday.
Zubac has started all three games he has played this season, averaging 9 points and 8.7 rebounds in 21.4 minutes. He has shot 59.6% true shooting on 17.4% usage. Indiana has been outscored by 2 points per game with him on the floor.
The Pacers are 2-6 with a net rating of -3.8, 20th of 30 teams. They rank 18th in offensive rating and 20th in defensive rating, so Zubac's return gives them back their starting center on a roster that has struggled at both ends.
