INDIANAPOLIS — Pacers forward Kobe Brown will not return to Tuesday’s game against the Timberwolves due to a sore lower back according to Pacers public relations.
Brown posted two points and five rebounds in 16 minutes and 28 seconds of action in the first half. He entered Tuesday’s game averaging 9.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists for the Pacers since he was acquired from the Clippers along with Ivica Zubac in a Feb. 5 trade. He scored double figures in five straight games prior to Tuesday’s game.
Two-way contract forward Jalen Slawson, named a G League first-team All-Defensive team pick on Tuesday, started in Brown’s place in the second half.
