Nembhard (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

After nearly dropping a triple-double in Saturday's game against the Spurs, Nembhard will miss Wednesday's matchup against Detroit. The 24-year-old guard is having a solid season for the Pacers, averaging career-high numbers across the board, which means they'll miss him against a vastly improved Pistons squad. Ben Sheppard or Aaron Nesmith could end up being his replacement in the starting lineup for Indiana.

Nembhard (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard is in danger of missing his first game Wednesday since Dec. 27 due to a back issue. If the third-year guard cannot suit up for the Pacers against Detroit, Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard stand out as the two most likely candidates to enter Indiana's starting lineup.

Nembhard logged 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 136-98 victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old posted a game-best mark in assists while also tying Thomas Bryant with a game-high three swipes. Nembhard delivered an efficient 15-point performance, tying his scoring total from the Pacers' previous two outings. The third-year pro has also finished as the club's top distributor in each of his last two outings, and he has dished out eight or more assists in five of his 30 regular-season appearances.

Nembhard racked up eight points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 26 minutes during Thursday's 140-110 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard distributed the ball well Thursday despite having somewhat of a quiet scoring performance, leading all Pacers in assists to go along with a team-high trio of steals in a balanced performance. Nembhard has handed out eight or more assists in four outings this season, doing so in two of his last four contests. He also matched a season high in steals, a mark he has recorded on two other occasions.

Nembhard amassed 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and three steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 127-117 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard finished the loss with season highs in both assists and steals through 26 regular-season appearances. However, the third-year guard struggled to find his rhythm shooting the rock Tuesday. The 24-year-old has scored in double figures in three of his last five outings, and in that five-game span, he has averaged 11.0 points, 5.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 30.4 minutes per contest.

Nembhard notched a team-high 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 108-93 victory over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year guard put together his best offensive effort since Dec. 26 as six different Pacers scored 11 or more points to help compensate for the loss of Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring), who didn't return after halftime. Nembhard had been in a rut prior to this performance, scoring in double digits only once in the prior five games and shooting just 27.3 percent (3-for-11) from three-point range, but he's been a consistent defensive presence and has recorded at least one steal in six straight contests.

Nembhard totaled eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 113-99 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard has scored in single digits in three straight games, but he's gotten the job done in other areas for the Pacers. He added five rebounds, three assists and two steals in Monday's win over Brooklyn, as he continues to contribute as a solid two-way threat for Indiana this season.

Nembhard ended with 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 33 minutes during Sunday's 123-114 win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard returned Sunday after missing Indiana's previous game due to left knee injury management, providing a much-needed lift to the Pacers starting five while leading all players in assists to go along with a team-high-tying rebound total and a double-digit scoring mark. Nembhard matched a season high in assists in the contest while hauling in his second-highest rebound total of the year. He has now tallied 15 or more points in five appearances, doing so in five of his last six outings.

Nembhard (knee) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard will return to action Sunday after missing the second leg of Indiana's back-to-back Friday due to left knee injury management. Nembhard should reclaim his starting spot from Ben Sheppard against Boston.

Nembhard is out for Friday's game against the Celtics due to left knee injury management, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard missed 12 straight games between Nov. 8 and Nov. 29 due to left patellofemoral inflammation, but he had been playing regularly of late after appearing in each of Indiana's last eight games, averaging 28.5 minutes in that span. Nembhard's next chance to play will come in the rematch against Boston on Sunday.
