  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Unavailable Monday

    Nesmith (knee) is out Monday against the Clippers.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Iffy for Monday

    Nesmith is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to a right knee bruise.

    Nesmith posted 13 points, four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers, but he may miss the second half of Indiana's back-to-back set. If Nemsith is downgraded to out, Doug McDermott, Obi Toppin and Ben Sheppard are candidates for increased roles.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Drops 13 points in loss

    Nesmith finished Sunday's 150-145 loss to the Lakers with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 27 minutes.

    Nesmith's production has been all over the place lately. Through 12 March appearances, the sharpshooter is averaging 10.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers while hitting 40.8 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Stuffs stat sheet in win Saturday

    Nesmith accumulated 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 victory over the Nets.

    Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner didn't have their best performances Saturday. However, Nesmith stepped up and delivered a strong outing on both ends of the court, registering at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Nesmith has scored in double digits in four straight appearances and has averaged 10.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Effective with 15 points

    Nesmith ended Sunday's 111-97 victory over the Magic with 16 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes.

    Although Bennedict Mathurin's (shoulder) season-ending injury doesn't change the names in the first unit, Nesmith saw a noticeable boost in minutes due to his backup's absence, a trend that should continue in the short term. The eventual return of Doug McDermott (calf) could provide Nesmith some relief.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Has shot blocked late vs. T-Wolves

    Nesmith racked up eight points (2-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 loss to Minnesota.

    Nesmith had a chance to send the game to overtime, but his layup was blocked in spectacular fashion by Anthony Edwards. Nesmith has struggled with his shot as of late and has gone 4-for-20 from the field over his last three games. He has failed to reach double-digit scoring in each of his last five games, which is a far cry from his production in February when he averaged 13.8 points per game on 50.6 percent shooting, including 39.5 percent from three.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Lean run continues Tuesday

    Nesmith had six points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and two assists across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 137-120 victory over the Mavericks.

    Nesmith managed just six points in the win, continuing his poor production of late. Since returning from an ankle injury, he has scored a total of 19 points across three games. Not only has his scoring been underwhelming, but his defensive numbers have been even worse, tallying one steal and zero blocks in that time. While he should be better than this moving forward, his upside is not that high, meaning managers could move on if the situation warrants immediate production.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Will play Tuesday

    Nesmith (quadriceps) will be available for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

    The Pacers will be getting their primary floor spacer back in the lineup after he missed the past four games. In Nesmith's last 10 games, he averaged 11.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Participates in shootaround

    Nesmith (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, but he participated in the Pacers' morning shootaround, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Nesmith missed four straight games due to a right ankle sprain before returning to action Friday. He appeared in back-to-back games (both starts) and played 21 and 28 minutes, respectively, in those contests, but he was back on the injury report Monday with a left quad bruise. Nesmith is trending in the right direction, but his official availability will likely be a game-time decision.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Returns to injury report

    Nesmith is questionable for Tuesday's game against Dallas due to a left quad bruise.

    Nesmith has compiled 13 points, four rebounds and five assists across 49 minutes in two contests since returning from an ankle sprain. Another absence for Nesmith would come at an inopportune time for a Pacers team that has loss three of the last four games.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Puts up nine points in return

    Nesmith (ankle) closed Friday's 129-102 loss to the Pelicans with nine points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes.

    Back in action after a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Nesmith's playing time was limited, but that may have been more of a byproduct of the blowout than the veteran wing being on a minutes restriction. None of Indiana's other four starters played more than 30 minutes, with Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam notably logging less than 25 minutes apiece. Before suffering the injury, Nesmith had averaged 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.1 minutes per game over 22 appearances since the beginning of January, so he could be worth a look in 12-team leagues where available now that he's healthy again.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Officially starting

    Nesmith (ankle) will start at small forward in Friday's game against the Pelicans, Tony East of SI.com reports.

    Nesmith is returning from a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The official starting lineup has not yet been announced, but he will presumably be replacing Bennedict Mathurin in the starting unit. Nesmith averaged 14.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 31.1 minutes over his previous 15 appearances prior to the injury.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Cleared to play Friday

    Nesmith (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Nesmith will return to action following a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, but it's unclear if he'll take his starting spot back from Bennedict Mathurin, who's been playing well of late. Before his absence, Nesmith averaged 14.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 31.1 minutes over his previous 15 appearances.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Questionable to play Friday

    Nesmith (ankle) is questionable to face the Pelicans on Friday.

    Nesmith has missed Indiana's last four games due to a right ankle sprain, but the questionable tag is undoubtedly a step in the right direction for him. Nesmith has been a regular starter for the Pacers since late December when available, and he's averaging 13.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game when deployed in a starting role.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Won't play against New Orleans

    Nesmith (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Tony East of SI.com reports.

    Nesmith's absence streak will extend to four games Thursday after being downgraded from questionable to out with a right ankle sprain. Bennedict Mathurin will likely continue to start, while Nesmith's next chance to suit up is Friday's rematch with New Orleans.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Listed as questionable

    Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

    Nesmith has missed three straight games, allowing Bennedict Mathurin to join the first unit. Given how well Mathurin has played, Indiana may opt to bring Nesmith off the bench if he's cleared to suit up Wednesday.
