Rotowire
Brown closed with 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and six assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 145-126 victory over the Bulls.

Pacers' Kobe Brown: Dropped from rotation
Rotowire
Brown (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Monday's 128-126 win over the Magic.
During Monday's contest, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle deviated from his recent approach and ran a more streamlined nine-man rotation while handing three of the team's established starters (Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith) 30-plus minutes apiece. As a result, Brown and Quenton Jackson were squeezed out of the rotation, but both should be able to reclaim roles before long. The 16-56 Pacers have little at stake beyond draft position over their final 10 games, which likely means that players like Siakam, Nembhard and Nesmith could be rested frequently and/or have their minutes pulled back. Brown had been a beneficiary of Indiana holding out key players for the past several weeks, as the third-year forward has averaged 8.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.3 assists in 23.7 minutes over his 18 appearances for the Pacers since coming over in a Feb. 5 trade with the Clippers.
