Surgery Scheduled for Sheppard
Indiana Pacers guard Ben Sheppard is set to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus on Wednesday. The 6-foot-6 player received the update from coach Rick Carlisle ahead of the team's game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Sheppard has been sidelined since appearing in the season-opening contest.
Limited Recent Action for Sheppard
Sheppard suited up for the Pacers in their 123-120 victory at New Orleans to start the season but has not played since. Last season he appeared in 65 games and averaged 7.1 points per game.
Zubac and Nembhard Updates
Ivica Zubac entered Fiserv Forum without a walking boot the night after the 7-footer sprained his left ankle in a 136-109 win at Brooklyn. Carlisle noted a slight limp for the center but provided no return timetable. The Pacers also went without Andrew Nembhard on Monday night due to a back issue.
