Zubac (ankle) will play Thursday against the Suns, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zubac was upgraded to questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup, and the team has since given him the green light to take the floor for the first time as a member of the Pacers. The big man hasn't appeared in a game since Feb. 2, so it's safe to assume that Indiana will keep a close eye on his minutes until he's acclimated, which will likely take at least a few appearances.

Barnes is questionable for Friday's game versus the Suns due to an illness, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes is feeling under the weather, but we'll have a better idea of his status for Friday's game based on his activity level at shootaround. If he's not able to give it a go, Brandon Ingram would see an uptick in usage, and there would be more minutes available for Jamison Battle and Sandro Mamukelashvili.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-rounder has a chance to end a six-game absence with a thumb sprain. Less playing time would be open to Sandro Mamukelashvili if Murray-Boyles can play Friday.

Hayes (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moody (wrist) won't play in Friday's game against Minnesota, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Moody will wind up missing a fifth consecutive game Friday, head coach Steve Kerr said after Wednesday's practice that the fifth-year wing is on track to join the Warriors for their upcoming six-game road trip that begins Sunday in New York. Moody's continued absence Friday opens up more playing time for Will Richard, Pat Spencer and Gary Payton on the wing.
