Nesmith (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Kings, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear why Nesmith will be sidelined, but the issue doesn't appear to be too serious as Boyd relayed that there's a possibility he could return to action later this week. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against Detroit or Friday against Washington.

Nesmith was traded to Indiana from Boston alongside Daniel Theis, two other players and a first-round pick for Malcolm Brogdon on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After two seasons of limited playing time in Boston, the 2020 first-round pick now finds himself with Indiana. While Nesmith is bound to see the court more with the rebuilding Pacers than he did with the contending Celtics, the 22-year-old still has plenty of competition for minutes. Nesmith is set to compete amongst the likes of Chris Duarte, Buddy Hield, Duane Washington and Bennedict Mathurin for playing time coming into next year.

Nesmith accumulated 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two assists and one steal in eight minutes during Sunday's 144-102 victory over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith needed just eight minutes to register his eighth double-digit scoring performance of the season. The second-year wing's playing time was likely a result of Boston's commanding lead, as he garnered back-to-back healthy DNPs during the Celtics' previous two contests.

Nesmith will come off the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Heat, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jayson Tatum rejoining the lineup after a one-game absence, Nesmith will shift back to a reserve role. The 22-year-old is averaging 3.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game this season.

Nesmith posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals over 39 minutes during Monday's 115-112 overtime loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith entered the starting five with Jayson Tatum (knee) sidelined, and he didn't come close to absorbing Tatum's usual production. Although the Celtics have depth in the backcourt, the squad is particularly vulnerable when elite players like Tatum and Jaylen Brown (knee) are out of the lineup.

Nesmith will start Monday's game against the Raptors, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old will make his third start of the season with Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (knee) both out on the second night of a back-to-back set. Nesmith has averaged 7.5 points and 3.3 rebounds over the seven games in which he's played at least 20 minutes this season, so he's not a risky streaming option even with Boston short-handed.

Nesmith logged five points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 136-127 loss to the College Park Skyhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith made his G League return Tuesday. However, the forward failed to make all but one shot and failed to supply tallies in other statistical categories (apart from rebounds).

Nesmith was assigned to the G League's Maine Celtics on Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith was recently cleared for action following a seven-game absence due to an ankle injury. However, he doesn't have a consistent role with the NBA club, so he'll presumably get extended run during his time in the G League.

Nesmith (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against Oklahoma City, John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will put an end to a seven-game streak of absences for Nesmith, who hasn't played since March 3. His role has been all over the place this season, and given the recent absence it's no guarantee that he'll find more than a few garbage-time minutes.

Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith has missed the last seven games due to a sprained right ankle and it remains unclear if he'll be ready to return to the court Monday. If he's ultimately ruled out, his next opportunity to return will be Wednesday against the Jazz.
