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.

Nesmith (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
While coach Ime Udoka said Nesmith is getting close to a return, the young wing will miss a seventh straight game as he continues to contend with a sprained right ankle. There's a decent chance he'll remain out Monday at Oklahoma City to finish out the back-to-back set.

Nesmith (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith has been out for about two weeks due to a sprained ankle, but it appears he might be a bit ahead of schedule in his recovery. If he returns Sunday, he'll presumably be on a minutes limit.

Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Wednesday that Nesmith (ankle) will remain out for "a while," Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Udoka, Nesmith is still experiencing significant swelling of his sprained right ankle and will need the inflammation to subside before he's able to resume on-court activity. Once that happens, a clearer timeline for the second-year wing's return date could come into focus. Nesmith has been a fringy member of Udoka's rotation throughout the season, averaging only 10.5 minutes over 45 appearances.

Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Sunday that Nesmith (ankle) had significant swelling and "will be out for a longer period of time" than Jaylen Brown (ankle), Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith sprained his ankle during Thursday's contest against the Grizzlies, and based on Udoka's comments, he'll likely be facing a lengthy absence. While Brown will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest versus Brooklyn, Nesmith may be sidelined for the entirety of Boston's upcoming three-game week.

Nesmith exited Thursday's contest early with an ankle sprain and won't return for the remainder of the game, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nesmith earned a spot start with Jaylen Brown (ankle) ruled out for Thursday's contest with the Grizzlies. The forward left the game with one assist and one steal in five minutes of action. Expect Grant Williams and Derrick White to see extended minutes with Nesmith done for the game.
