Zach LaVine Cleared to Play Against Pacers

Zach LaVine is set to play in Friday's game against the Pacers despite experiencing low back tightness. He recently contributed significantly in a win over the Spurs, where he recorded 11 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. LaVine's back issue emerged as a new concern following a previous adductor injury but is not expected to limit his performance. Over his last ten games, he averages 20.6 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game. Additionally, Matas Buzelis is also available for the game, having recovered from a nose contusion, and may wear a mask while averaging 9.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in his recent performances.
