Brown (knee) is available for Saturday's game in Charlotte.

Brown is back after a one-game absence, and he should see a nice uptick in usage Saturday with LeBron James (rest) and Joel Embiid (rest) unavailable. Brown is averaging 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.2 steals per game this season.

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

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.

Nesmith (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn.

Nesmith didn't play in the 123-120 loss to New Orleans on Opening Night but has played in each of the Pacers' last five contests. Although he could see limited action while he continues to work his way back from the left hamstring strain, he will likely be out there Sunday, barring a setback.

Toppin (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Toppin sat out Friday's 145-125 loss to the Heat due to the back issue, and with Sunday's game being the first of a back-to-back set, he may need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines. If he's out, Jarace Walker and Kobe Brown would likely see a bump in minutes.

Brown (rest) is out for Sunday's game in Indiana.

Brown will skip the first leg of this upcoming back-to-back set, but he should return for Monday's game in New York. With Brown inactive, there will be more minutes available for Nolan Traore, Terance Mann and Keon Ellis.

Robinson (rest) is questionable for Sunday's game in Orlando, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Sunday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Robinson might get scheduled for a maintenance day. If he's forced to the sidelines, Neemias Queta would likely start, and Luka Garza could see a bump in minutes.

Santos (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Santos is expected to continue to push through the pain with his knee issue. He's averaging 7.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game this season.

Green (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Green will sit out the first leg of this back-to-back set, but he should return for Monday's game against the Suns. Graham Ike, Al Horford and Charles Bassey will help pick up the slack with Green inactive Sunday.

Curry (rest) won't play Sunday against the Clippers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Sunday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Curry will receive a maintenance day, but he should return for Monday's meeting with the Suns. De'Anthony Melton could draw the start sans Curry, and Brandin Podziemski will be more involved in the offense.

Castle (migraine) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Castle is a late addition to the injury report, so his status will be worth monitoring closely ahead of Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson figure to be the top candidates to enter the Spurs' starting lineup if Castle is not cleared to play.
