Back to bench Nembhard isn't starting Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

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.

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.
