Ben Sheppard will miss time following surgery for a torn meniscus.<\/p>\n

MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Indiana Pacers guard Ben Sheppard will undergo surgery for a torn meniscus on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle offered the update on Sheppard before Indiana\u2019s game with the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Sheppard appeared in the Pacers\u2019 season-opening 123-120 victory<\/a> at New Orleans but hasn\u2019t played since.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 7.1 points per game in 65 games last season.<\/p>\n

Ivica Zubac managed to walk into Fiserv Forum without a walking boot, one night after the 7-footer sprained his left ankle during a 136-109 triumph<\/a> at Brooklyn, Carlisle said. Carlisle said Zubac had a slight limp and didn\u2019t offer a timetable for the center\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

The Pacers also played Monday night without Andrew Nembhard due to a back issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Sheppard will miss time following surgery for a torn meniscus.
