Serge Ibaka: Parting ways with Indiana
Serge Ibaka will be waived by the Pacers on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Ibaka was traded from Milwaukee to Indiana on Thursday, but the Pacers' decision to part ways with him isn't shocking, given their frontcourt talent. After being cut out of the Bucks' rotation in recent weeks, Ibaka will have a chance to sign elsewhere to close out the 2022-23 campaign.

Pacers' Serge Ibaka: Shipped to Indiana
The Indiana Pacers acquired Serge Ibaka, Jordan Nwora, George Hill and two second-round picks from the Bucks on Thursday as part of a three-team deal that sent Jae Crowder to the Bucks and five second-round picks to the Nets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Ibaka had been out of the rotation in Milwaukee before he and the Bucks came to an agreement a few weeks ago for him to remain away from the team while the front office explored trade options. The 33-year-old found a new home just before Thursday's trade deadline, but the move to Indiana won't guarantee him steady minutes. Myles Turner recently signed a two-year extension with the Pacers and is entrenched as the team's starting center, so Ibaka will have to vie with the likes of Daniel Theis and Isaiah Jackson for backup minutes.

Bucks' Serge Ibaka: Working with team on potential trade
Serge Ibaka (personal) and the Milwaukee Bucks mutually agreed Friday to begin pursuing trade opportunities, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Ibaka left the team just under two weeks ago for what the Bucks have termed as a personal matter, and based on Charania's report, the veteran center appears poised to remain away from Milwaukee until the organization is able to find a new home for him. The 33-year-old has largely been on the outside of head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation all season, appearing in just 16 games and averaging 4.1 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per contest. Even though he's signed to a cost-effective one-year, $2.91 million deal, Ibaka may not command much interest on the trade market and could be waived if the Bucks aren't able to find a taker prior to the Feb. 9 deadline for deals.

Bucks' Serge Ibaka: Cameo appearance Sunday
Serge Ibaka contributed four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and two steals across 16 minutes during Sunday's 118-95 loss to the Wizards.Ibaka saw actual playing time for just the second time in the past six weeks, logging 16 minutes in a losing effort.
