Pacers' Kobe Brown: To miss at least two games
Rotowire
Brown (recently traded), who has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks, is out for Sunday's contest against Toronto, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
The earliest Brown will make his Pacers debut is Tuesday in New York against the Knicks. However, given he last saw double-digit minutes back on Jan. 20 with the Clippers, Brown may end up being a negligible part of the Indiana rotation.

Pacers' Kobe Brown: Traded to Indiana
Rotowire
Brown and Ivica Zubac (personal) are being traded to the Pacers on Thursday in exchange for Bennedict Mathurin (rest), Isaiah Jackson, two first-round picks and a second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Brown will help back up Pascal Siakam (rest) in Indiana, but it's unlikely the former will suddenly emerge with fantasy value on his new team. Over 118 career games through three years of NBA experience, Brown has recorded averages of 2.3 points and 1.5 rebounds per contest. He should be considered questionable for Friday's game against Milwaukee.

Rotowire
Brown will head to the bench for Wednesday's season opener against the Jazz, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The Clippers rested most of their main guys for Friday's preseason finale, which allowed Brown to draw a spot-start, but he'll return to a negligible reserve role for Wednesday's game. He's not worth rostering in most formats.

Rotowire
Brown (back) played the final 12 minutes of Tuesday's 122-86 loss to the Spurs and finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound.
Brown made his first appearance since Nov. 25, after he had been sidelined for more than a month due to back injury management. The second-year forward likely won't be featured in head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation on a regular basis now that he's healthy again. The 12 minutes Brown played Tuesday represented his second-highest total of the season, and he didn't check into the game until the start of the fourth quarter, when the Clippers were trailing by 28 points.
