Nesmith is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to left foot soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith was limited by a foot issue late in the preseason but suited up for Wednesday's regular-season opener and posted three points, four rebounds and an assist in 22 minutes off the bench. He continues to deal with the injury, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him suit up once again Friday.

Nesmith (foot) will play in Wednesday's opener against the Wizards, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith's plantar fasciitis feels fine after some time off, so he'll presumably be in the rotation on Opening Night. He should see more minutes on the rebuilding Pacers than he did with the Celtics last season.

Nesmith (foot) will likely hold a questionable tag for Wednesday's opener against the Wizards, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith logged a limited practice Monday after missing much of the preseason, but he's progressed enough to potentially take part Wednesday. If he can play, Nesmith should log double-digit minutes as a bench contributor for the Pacers.

Nesmith (foot) was a limited participant in Monday's practice, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith has yet to participate in any contact work but has been making process in his plantar fasciitis recovery. Head coach Rick Carlisle noted that Nesmith's activity level in Tuesday's practice would be significant in determining his status for Wednesday's season opener against the Wizards. Nesmith is slated to hold a depth role for the Pacers this season, but any potential absence could result in a more significant workload for first-round pick Bennedict Mathurin.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Nesmith (foot) was able to do a "little bit" in Saturday's practice and might be ready to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Wizards, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carlisle added that he's hopeful Nesmith will be able to take part in live work at practice Monday, with the third-year wing's status for the opener likely to be dictated by what he's able to do that day. Even after moving from the Celtics to what appears to be a rebuilding Pacers club, Nesmith isn't guaranteed to be a regular rotation player in his first season in Indiana.

The Pacers exercised Nesmith's (foot) fourth-year option for 2023-24 on Wednesday, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith was traded to the Pacers in a deal that sent Malcolm Brogdon to the Celtics this offseason. Across two seasons with Boston, Nesmith garnered a modest reserve gig, but it appears he'll have an opportunity to carve out a solid depth role in Indiana. Due to the fact that Nesmith has yet to play for Indiana during the regular season and isn't guaranteed to be a major contributor, this move comes as a bit of a surprise, but the Pacers will now have at least two years to get an extended look at Nesmith's fit with the organization.

Nesmith sustained a plantar fascia injury during Friday's preseason game against the Knicks, but head coach Rick Carlisle said he's hopeful the wing will be available for the regular-season opener against the Wizards on Oct. 19, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith appears set to miss the Pacers' final two preseason games, but he'll have a chance to suit up Oct. 19, when Indiana opens its season against Washington. In his first season with Indiana, Nesmith is expected to vie for a backup role on the wing behind projected starters Chris Duarte and Buddy Hield.

Nesmith collected 16 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3 Pt, 6-6 FT) and four rebounds across 14 minutes in Wednesday night's win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith entered the game for Jalen Smith with 4:15 left in the first and scored four points to finish out the quarter. The small forward then sat out for most of the second quarter before shining in the next half with 12 third-quarter points -- including two three-pointers -- on 3-of-5 shooting (4-4 FT).

Nesmith posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday's Summer League win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Debuting for his new team after being traded by the Celtics, Nesmith put on a two-way performance. There's room to improve for the wing, especially since he had four turnovers, but fantasy managers should expect the third-year pro to see an expanded role on the rebuilding Pacers compared to his time in Boston.

Nesmith (undisclosed) will return to action Tuesday against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith missed Sunday's contest against the Kings for an undisclosed reason, but he's ready to retake the floor after just a couple of days. Tuesday will mark his 2022 Summer League debut as he aims to raise some eyebrows after appearing in 52 games for the Celtics last season.
