Pacers center Ivica Zubac is questionable to return after suffering a “head contusion” during the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers, the team announced.

Zubac, who is celebrating his 29th birthday, went back to the locker room after taking an elbow to the forehead from Donovan Clingan on a dunk attempt.

The point of impact immediately ballooned into a gnarly goose egg.

Before exiting, Zubac tallied 18 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and one block in 23 minutes of action.
