Nembhard isn't starting Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard entered the starting five Saturday with Tyrese Haliburton missing time due to an illness, but the Gonzaga product will return to the bench in his usual role with Haliburton cleared to return. Nembhard is averaging 5.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists in his last five contests as a reserve (17.6 minutes).

Nembhard will start Saturday's game against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Tyrese Haliburton is sitting out Saturday's game with a knee bruise, but he's believed to be day-to-day. Nembhard is expected to see the bulk of the point guard minutes with T.J. McConnell picking up the backup minutes. Nembhard has played well this season, posting averages of 7.6 points, 4.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 19.0 minutes.

Nembhard (back) recorded 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes in Friday's 136-113 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
The 13 points were one off a season high for Nembhard, who made his return from a three-game absence. With the Pacers recently moving Buddy Hield into the starting lineup, Nembhard will primarily be vying for usage with Bennedict Mathurin on the second unit. Nembhard has shown the ability to deliver some big assist totals during his young career, though it's typically contingent on him seeing 30-plus minutes. He wouldn't appear to have a path to seeing playing time on that level so long as Tyrese Haliburton is healthy.

Nembhard (back) is good to go for Friday's matchup with the Pistons, Tony East of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard is set to return from a three-game absence due to low-back spasms. Barring any setbacks, he will presumably take on his usual role providing depth in the Pacers' backcourt.

Nembhard (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard has missed three straight games due to low-back spasms. He was listed as questionable ahead of the last two games he missed as well, so the designation doesn't provide overwhelming optimism. Tyrese Haliburton (wrist) and Aaron Nesmith (wrist) are also questionable, so Indiana may be shorthanded against Detroit.

Nembhard (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard has missed back-to-back games due to a sore lower back, but he could return to action Wednesday. However, if he remains sidelined, T.J. McConnell and Jordan Nwora would be candidates for increased bench roles behind Tyrese Haliburton.

Nembhard is out for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard will miss his second consecutive game due to lower back soreness. His next opportunity to take the court will be Wednesday against Toronto. T.J. McConnell and Bruce Brown will backup Tyrese Haliburton with Nembhard unavailable, while Jordan Nwora could continue seeing a rotation role.

Nembhard (back) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard missed his first game of the season Sunday due to lower back soreness and is in danger of missing a second straight game Tuesday. In his absence, T.J. McConnell, Jordan Nwora, Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker saw increased roles, but Indiana also opted to utilize its second unit more after falling behind early to Orlando on Sunday.
