Nembhard (knee) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard will miss a fifth consecutive game due to a right knee injury. The second-year pro will likely be re-evaluated at some point this week, and based on initial evaluations, he should be able to return to action soon, barring any new developments.

Nembhard (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Rick Carlisle doesn't believe Nembhard is dealing with a long-term injury, but it sounds like the Pacers will be taking a cautious approach, as the franchise is calling him week-to-week. Nembhard will miss at least the next five games for the Pacers, and he should be considered questionable at best for Dec. 18 against the Clippers. T.J. McConnell is expected to pick up some minutes in the meantime.

Nembhard (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's In-Season Tournament Championship against the Lakers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard suffered a knee injury against Milwaukee on Thursday and will be kept out of Saturday's championship contest. T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin will likely receive increased playing time in Nembhard's absence. Nembhard's next chance to suit up will be Monday's matchup with Detroit.

Nembhard will not return to Thursday's game against the Bucks due to right knee soreness. He finished with eight points (4-5 FG), two assists, one steal and one block in 14 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard had a scary fall on a fast-break attempt and had to be carried to the locker room. He was in obvious pain and is likely to be evaluated further. He should be considered questionable for Monday's game against Detroit. If he misses additional time, T.J. McConnell will likely be asked to step up.

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) won't play in Wednesday's game versus Toronto, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday due to back soreness. His next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with Detroit.
