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

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 now, 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.

Gill (back) is out for Monday's game against the Magic.

Gill was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. His absence is not expected to make any waves in the rotation.

Nance (illness) is doubtful for Monday against the Hawks.

Nance is usually not a big factor in the rotation, but his expected absence is a big blow this time around. The Pacers are going to be extremely thin at every position Monday.

Toppin (back) is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Toppin remains day-to-day after missing the first leg of this back-to-back set. The Pacers could give him extended run if he's cleared to play with so many regulars sidelined.

Nesmith (rest) is sitting out Monday against Atlanta.

The Pacers are holding him out for left hamstring injury management, but this is a maintenance day and not a setback for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Kelly Oubre and Jarace Walker could see hefty workloads with so many Pacers sitting out.

Nembhard (cervical strain) is out for Monday's game against Atlanta.

The Pacers are going to sit multiple key players for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Nembhard sidelined, Quenton Jackson could be set up for an extended workload.

Siakam will be rested against the Hawks on Monday.

The veteran forward compiled 17 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and a steal across 35 minutes in Sunday's 98-90 loss to the Nets, and he'll be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Obi Toppin (lumbar sprain) is questionable, so the Pacers may need a lot of minutes from Jarace Walker.

Sarr (knee) is out for Monday's game against Orlando.

Sarr was previously listed as questionable after picking up the knock Friday against the Hornets. With Sarr out of commission, the Wizards could lean more on backup center Deandre Ayton and may slide him into the first unit.

Brown (rest) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks.

This is an expected update after Brown was rested Sunday for the first leg of the back-to-back set. There's been no indication of when the Nets will lift Brown's restrictions.

Joe (hip) is out for Monday against the Hornets.

Jones was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss his fourth straight game. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against the 76ers.
