Pacers’ Ben Sheppard to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus on Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Ben Sheppard will undergo surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn meniscus. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle announced the news prior to Indiana's game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Sheppard played in the season-opening 123-120 win against New Orleans but has not taken the court since. Standing at 6-foot-6, Sheppard averaged 7.1 points per game during the 65 games he played last season.
Ivica Zubac, a 7-footer, walked into Fiserv Forum on Monday night despite spraining his left ankle during a 136-109 victory in Brooklyn. Carlisle mentioned Zubac appeared to have a slight limp, but did not provide a timeline for the center's return. Andrew Nembhard, another Pacers player, missed Monday's game due to a back issue.
