Available Sunday
Brown (back) is available for Sunday's game against Detroit, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Questionable for Sunday
Brown (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Analyse
Brown played through the back issue in Friday's loss to the 76ers and logged 27 minutes. We'll have a better idea on Brown's status for Sunday's game based on his activity level at shootaround.
10. April 2026
Available Friday
Brown (back) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Analyse
Brown will shake off his questionable tag and return from a one-game absence due to a lumbar sprain. Over his last five appearances (four starts), the 26-year-old forward has averaged 12.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 29.0 minutes per tilt. With Brown back in action, there will be fewer minutes available for guys like Micah Potter, Jalen Slawson and Obi Toppin.

Questionable for Friday
Brown (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Analyse
Brown could potentially miss his second straight contest Friday. If he's unable to play, the Pacers could again rely on Jalen Slawson.
9. April 2026
Ruled out Thursday
Brown (back) is listed as out for Thursday's game against Brooklyn.
Analyse
Brown has started each of Indiana's last four games. However, he's dealing with a back injury, so his next chance to suit up will be in Friday's meeting with the 76ers. With Brown ruled out, Jalen Slawson and Obi Toppin are the favorites to see a bump in minutes.
8. April 2026
Listed as questionable
Brown (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Analyse
Brown didn't play in the second half of Tuesday's loss to Minnesota due to lower-back soreness, and he's now questionable for Thursday's contest due to a lumbar sprain. If the 26-year-old forward is unable to suit up in the first leg of this back-to-back, Jalen Slawson, Micah Potter and Obi Toppin would be candidates to see increased playing time.
8. April 2026
Exits early Tuesday
Brown won't return to Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to lower-back soreness, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. He'll finish with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes.
Analyse
Brown drew the start and finished the first half, though he won't return during the second due to the back issue. His next chance to play will come Thursday in Brooklyn. Jalen Slawson started the second half and should help pick up the slack for the remainder of Tuesday's contest.
