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

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith was a key bench piece for the Pacers during their In-Season Tournament run and was tasked with guarding the opposing team's best player when he was on the court. The injury doesn't appear too serious, but if it forces Nesmith to miss any time, Bruce Brown, Bennedict Mathurin and Buddy Hield would be candidates for increased roles off the bench.

Nesmith supplied 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block over 31 minutes during Monday's 122-112 win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith played a season-high 31 minutes during the In-Season Tournament win and delivered another efficient scoring outing. Over his last five appearances (one start), Nesmith has averaged 13.4 points while shooting 66.7 percent from the field.

Nesmith amassed seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith returned from a two-game absence due to a wrist injury, logging 25 minutes off the bench. While he managed to rack up three steals, it was far from a stellar performance. He has had his moments this season, but on the whole, he should be viewed as nothing more than a schedule-based streamer.

Nesmith (wrist) is available to play in Monday's game against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith will return from a two-game absence due to right wrist soreness. His availability aligns with coach Rick Carlisle's pregame statements regarding his high likelihood to return Monday, so he'll likely reprise his normal workload. Nesmith is averaging 10.8 points in 23.3 minutes per game across 13 appearances this season.

Coach Rick Carlisle said he expects Nesmith (wrist) to play Monday against the Trail Blazers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith is officially listed as questionable, but it appears he's trending more toward probable at this point. He has missed back-to-back games but returned to practice Sunday and will likely suit up Monday, though it's unclear if he'll be in the starting lineup. He made his first start of the year during a Nov. 21 win over Atlanta, scoring 17 points in 25 minutes, but has been sidelined since.

Nesmith (wrist) practiced Sunday and will be listed as questionable for Monday's game against Portland, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith has missed back-to-back matchups due to a sore right wrist, but it appears he'll return to game action soon. Nesmith has been pushing Obi Toppin for the starting power forward spot, but the former may be relegated to a reserve role when he's cleared to suit up again.

Nesmith (wrist) will not play in Friday's game against the Pistons, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the second game in a row on the sidelines for Nesmith, but he remains day-to-day considering he was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update. With Nesmith out, Obi Toppin could see extended playing time again and is averaging 35.0 minutes over the last two games.

Nesmith (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith missed his first game of the season Wednesday due to a wrist injury and is in danger of missing another contest Friday. Tyrese Haliburton (wrist) and Andrew Nembhard (back) are also questionable, so the Pacers may be shorthanded against Detroit.

Nesmith (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors, Tony East of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game of the season. He started ahead of Obi Toppin during Tuesday's 157-152 win over Atlanta, but Toppin figures to reclaim the starting spot in Nesmith's absence. Jordan Nwora and Isaiah Jackson are also candidates for slightly increased bench roles versus Toronto.

Nesmith is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a right wrist sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith was moved into the starting lineup Tuesday against the Hawks, producing 17 points, one rebound, one assist, one block, one steal and one three-pointer. If he's unable to take the floor Wednesday, we could see more of Obi Toppin.
