Indiana Pacers News and Rumors - NBA

Andrew Nembhard - Questionable for Monday Nembhard (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Nembhard is still dealing with lower-back soreness, though he was able to shed his questionable tag and play in Saturday's win over Miami. If the fourth-year point guard is ultimately ruled out, T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard are candidates to see an uptick in minutes. Over four outings this month, Nembhard has averaged 20.8 points, 9.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

Bennedict Mathurin - Not playing Monday Mathurin (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Mathurin is set to miss a fifth consecutive game while recovering from a sprained right thumb. His next chance to play is Wednesday against the Raptors, but the fourth-year forward lacks a clear timeline for a return. Johnny Furphy should continue to start for the Pacers in Mathurin's absence.

Aaron Nesmith - Just misses double-double in win Nesmith provided 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 123-99 victory over Miami.

Impact The 26-year-old forward likely would have recorded his first double-double of the season in a more competitive contest, but he didn't see the court again after exiting late in the third quarter with the Pacers up by 26. Nesmith rejoined the starting five at the beginning of January and has quickly found his form, scoring at least 12 points in four straight games and averaging 16.8 points, 6.5 boards, 4.0 assists, 3.0 threes and 1.3 combined blocks and steals in 32.3 minutes.

Jarace Walker - Makes impact on defense in win Walker recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals across 30 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 123-99 win over the He...

Impact The four steals were a season high for Walker, who just missed recording his first career double-double as he tied his season-best mark in boards. The third-year forward hadn't played at least 30 minutes in a game since Nov. 15, but he got extra run in a game the Pacers led by 27 points heading into the fourth quarter. Walker's scored in double digits in every other game since Christmas, averaging 8.7 points, 3.0 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals in 18.8 minutes over the last nine contests.

Impact After missing Thursday's win over the Hornets due to lower-back soreness, Nembhard returned to action Saturday and led the Pacers in multiple categories. The 25-year-old point guard tied the game-high mark in three-pointers and led all players in scoring, providing 20-plus points for the second time in his last three appearances. He also dished out a game-best nine assists and has reached that mark in each of his last three outings. During that span, he has averaged 21.3 points, 10.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.3 minutes per tilt.

Jay Huff - Not starting Saturday Huff is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Huff has been a regular starter for the Pacers of late and has been part of the first unit in all but two of the Pacers' last 20 games, but that won't be the case Saturday. Huff should still see sizable minutes as a rim protector. He's averaging 6.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.0 blocks across 16.7 minutes per game in 18 outings off the bench this season.

Andrew Nembhard - Upgraded to available Nembhard (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact Nembhard was trending in the right direction earlier Saturday, and the guard has now been upgraded to available. The fourth-year veteran is having a career-best season with 17.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game this season, so having him back is a huge boost for the Pacers.

Andrew Nembhard - Trending in right direction Head coach Rick Carlisle said he believes Nembhard (back) will play against the Heat on Saturday, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.

Impact Nembhard missed Thursday's win over the Hornets due to lower-back soreness but appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's contest. He'll likely suit up barring any setbacks during his pregame warmups and will presumably be a game-time decision ahead of tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET. If the 25-year-old point guard is ultimately ruled out, T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard are candidates for increased minutes. Over his last five games, Nembhard has averaged 16.8 points, 7.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32.2 minutes per tilt.

Impact Jackson hasn't played since Dec. 22 but appears to be nearing a return to action. Still, he isn't expected to return until next Saturday's game against Detroit at the very earliest. In the meantime, Micah Potter and Tony Bradley will likely continue to split the backup center duties behind Jay Huff.

Andrew Nembhard - Questionable to face Miami Nembhard (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact Nembhard is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game due to lower-back soreness. If the 25-year-old point guard isn't cleared to suit up, T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Isaiah Jackson - Absence streak to continue Jackson is out for Saturday's game against Miami with a concussion.

Impact Huff has started the past two games after Micah Potter temporarily filled that spot in the first two games of the new year. The 28-year-old big man was perfect from the field on four attempts and added three blocks on the defensive end. Huff now leads the league with eight games this season of at least three blocks and two triples.
