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.

Nembhard amassed 23 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one block across 29 minutes during Thursday's 120-114 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard did a little bit of everything for Indiana in Thursday's outing, leading Pacers players in scoring while distributing the ball well and ending one board short of a double-double. Nembhard set season-high marks in scoring and rebounds while adding his sixth outing of the season with seven or more dimes.

Nembhard finished Monday's 111-105 win over the Warriors with 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

After some tough injury luck to open the season, Nembhard is rounding into form. He's reached double figures in four straight games, posting averages of 15.8 points, 4.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 1.3 three-pointers during that stretch while hitting 56.4 percent from the field and 93.3 percent from the free throw line.

Nembhard closed with 17 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard scored a season-high 17 points and put together one of his best performances of the season. He's had some tough injury luck, but he's starting to find his stride with averages of 10.0 points, 4.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.7 three-pointers in six December outings.

Nembhard (knee/wrist) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard was hit with a questionable tag due to left knee injury management and a left wrist sprain, though he has been cleared to play in Sunday's matchup. The 24-year-old logged a multi-week absence in November due to left knee inflammation, but he has appeared in three of the club's last four outings, during which he has averaged 9.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals across 18.7 minutes per contest. While Nembhard has started in all three of his games since returning from the 12-game absence, he will likely continue to operate under a minutes restriction.

EDGE Analysis

The Pacers will continue to manage Nembhard's left knee injury that caused him to be sidelined for 12 straight games in November, but it appears the third-year guard is also dealing with a left wrist sprain. Johnny Furphy, Jarace Walker and T.J. McConnell would see an increase in playing time Sunday if Nembhard is unable to play.

Nembhard produced eight points (4-5 FG), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Friday's 132-123 win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard returned after missing the previous game as he continues to work his way back from a knee injury that cost him 12 games earlier in the season. He ended up logging 22 minutes, the most he has played since returning earlier in the week. Barring any setbacks, Nembhard should continue to ramp up his playing time to the point where he is serving as more of a typical starter.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard was held out of Wednesday's game against the Nets due to left knee injury management, but he will return for Friday's contest. The 24-year-old averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 assists and 1.5 steals over 17.0 minutes over his last two outings.

EDGE Analysis

Nembhard is questionable for Friday's game after having been held out of Wednesday's loss to Brooklyn due to left knee injury management. The 24-year-old appeared in two consecutive outings following a 12-game absence due to left patellofemoral inflammation, during which he averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 rebounds across 17.0 minutes per game. If Nembhard is unable to play Friday, Quenton Jackson and T.J. McConnell are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
