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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard won't start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard drew a spot start Wednesday with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, but he'll shift back to a bench role Friday. Nembhard posted a 12-point, 10-assist double-double as a reserve during the Pacers' regular-season opener, but he submitted modest production in the following two contests.

Nembhard racked up 14 points (6-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 155-104 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

With Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) sidelined, Nembhard got the start and ended up leading the Pacers' starting five in scoring during the rout. The second-year guard did deliver a double-double during Indiana's opener, but he's had an erratic start to the season overall and is shooting just 1-for-14 (7.1 percent) from three-point range. Haliburton isn't expected to miss much time, but if he sits out a second straight game Friday against the Cavaliers, Nembhard could see a bigger workload in a more competitive contest.

Nembhard is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics, Tony East of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard will replace Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) in the starting lineup Wednesday. This role isn't particularly new to Nembhard, as he started in 63 of his 75 appearances last season.

Nembhard accumulated six points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 112-105 loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

After posting 12 points and 10 assists in the season opener, Nembhard has totaled just 10 points and six assists over Indiana's past two contests. An 0-for-7 drought from beyond the arc is partially to blame, but Nembhard can't be relied on for relevant stat production at the moment. However, that could change if Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) and/or Bennedict Mathurin (elbow) are sidelined moving forward.

Nembhard (neck) tallied 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound in 23 minutes during Friday's 109-104 preseason win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard made his preseason debut Friday after missing the last three contests with neck soreness. The second-year guard played the most minutes of any Pacers bench player. Nembhard is expected to receive a bench role this season after starting in 63 of his 75 appearances as a rookie.

Nembhard (neck) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice and expects to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Cavaliers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard was a full participant for the first time in nearly two weeks, and he appears to have moved past the neck soreness that sidelined him to begin training camp. The 2022 second-round pick showed flashes as a rookie last year, but he's slated for a reserve role behind Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin to begin the 2023-24 campaign.
