Head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters Friday that Zubac is working through an ankle injury and won't play until Tuesday's game against the Knicks at the very earliest, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. Thursday's trade between the Clippers and Pacers has not been finalized as all players involved -- including Zubac -- have yet to pass physicals. Carlisle relayed that Zubac could make his Pacers debut Tuesday, but it appears as though the veteran center's absence could extend beyond that depending on the severity of his injury. Jay Huff figures to be the Pacers' starting center for as long as Zubac is sidelined.
