ANDREW NEMBHARD NEWS

Moves into starting lineup Nembhard will start Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact Tyrese Haliburton is sitting out Saturday's game with a knee bruise, but he's believed to be day-to-day. Nembhard is expected to see the bulk of the point guard minutes with T.J. McConnell picking up the backup minutes. Nembhard has played well this season, posting averages of 7.6 points, 4.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 19.0 minutes.

Pops for 13 points off bench Nembhard (back) recorded 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes in Friday's 136-113 win over the Pistons.

Impact The 13 points were one off a season high for Nembhard, who made his return from a three-game absence. With the Pacers recently moving Buddy Hield into the starting lineup, Nembhard will primarily be vying for usage with Bennedict Mathurin on the second unit. Nembhard has shown the ability to deliver some big assist totals during his young career, though it's typically contingent on him seeing 30-plus minutes. He wouldn't appear to have a path to seeing playing time on that level so long as Tyrese Haliburton is healthy.

Gets green light Nembhard (back) is good to go for Friday's matchup with the Pistons, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Impact Nembhard is set to return from a three-game absence due to low-back spasms. Barring any setbacks, he will presumably take on his usual role providing depth in the Pacers' backcourt.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Nembhard (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Nembhard has missed three straight games due to back soreness. He was listed as questionable ahead of the last two games he missed as well, so the designation doesn't provide overwhelming optimism. Tyrese Haliburton (wrist) and Aaron Nesmith (wrist) are also questionable, so Indiana may be shorthanded against Detroit.

Ruled out Wednesday Nembhard (back) won't play in Wednesday's game versus Toronto, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Nembhard's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday due to back soreness. His next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with Detroit.

NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Nembhard (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Nembhard has missed back-to-back games due to a sore lower back, but he could return to action Wednesday. However, if he remains sidelined, T.J. McConnell and Jordan Nwora would be candidates for increased bench roles behind Tyrese Haliburton.

NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Tuesday Nembhard is out for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact Nembhard will miss his second consecutive game due to lower back soreness. His next opportunity to take the court will be Wednesday against Toronto. T.J. McConnell and Bruce Brown will backup Tyrese Haliburton with Nembhard unavailable, while Jordan Nwora could continue seeing a rotation role.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Nembhard (back) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks.

Impact Nembhard missed his first game of the season Sunday due to lower back soreness and is in danger of missing a second straight game Tuesday. In his absence, T.J. McConnell, Jordan Nwora, Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker saw increased roles, but Indiana also opted to utilize its second unit more after falling behind early to Orlando on Sunday.

Won't play against Orlando Nembhard is out for Sunday's game versus the Magic due to lower back soreness, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Impact Nembhard will miss his first game of the season Sunday. Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield are candidates to receive increased minutes in his absence. Nembhard's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Atlanta.

Back to bench Nembhard won't start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Nembhard drew a spot start Wednesday with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, but he'll shift back to a bench role Friday. Nembhard posted a 12-point, 10-assist double-double as a reserve during the Pacers' regular-season opener, but he submitted modest production in the following two contests.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 14 in Wednesday's start Nembhard racked up 14 points (6-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 155-104 loss to the Celtics.

Impact With Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) sidelined, Nembhard got the start and ended up leading the Pacers' starting five in scoring during the rout. The second-year guard did deliver a double-double during Indiana's opener, but otherwise he's had an erratic start to the season and is shooting just 1-for-14 (7.1 percent) from three-point range. Haliburton isn't expected to miss much time, but if he sits out a second straight game Friday against the Cavs, Nembhard could see a bigger workload in a more competitive contest.

Gets starting nod Nembhard is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Impact Nembhard will replace Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) in the starting lineup Wednesday. This role isn't particularly new to Nembhard, as he started in 63 of his 75 appearances last season.

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet scoring continues Nembhard accumulated six points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 112-105 loss to Chicago.

Impact After posting 12 points and 10 assists in the season opener, Nembhard has totaled just 10 points and six assists over Indiana's past two contests. An 0-for-7 drought from beyond the arc is partially to blame, but Nembhard can't be relied on for relevant stat production at the moment. However, that could change if Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) and/or Bennedict Mathurin (elbow) are sidelined moving forward.

Impact Nembhard made his preseason debut Friday after missing the last three contests with neck soreness. The second-year guard played the most minutes of any Pacers bench player. Nembhard is expected to receive a bench role this season after starting in 63 of his 75 appearances as a rookie.

Back at practice Tuesday Nembhard (neck) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice and expects to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Cavaliers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports...

Impact Nembhard was a full participant for the first time in nearly two weeks, and he appears to have moved past the neck soreness that sidelined him to begin training camp. The 2022 second-round pick showed flashes as a rookie last year, but he's slated for a reserve role behind Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin to begin the 2023-24 campaign.

Officially out Monday Nembhard (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against Atlanta, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
