Andrew Nembhard Out for Pacers Due to Injury Management
Andrew Nembhard will not be playing for the Indiana Pacers as he is managing an injury. This news comes after his recent performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he scored 23 points. The specific nature of the injury has not been disclosed, but it is enough to keep him sidelined.
What It Means
Nembhard’s absence will impact the Pacers’ backcourt rotation. He has been averaging 10.6 points per game this season and contributes significantly in assists with 4.7 per game. His shooting efficiency, with a field goal percentage of 47.9%, adds value to the team.
The Pacers will likely rely more on Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell during Nembhard’s absence. Haliburton leads the team in minutes played at point guard, while McConnell provides solid backup support with 11.4 points per game. The team will need these players to step up until Nembhard returns.
