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.

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

Nembhard (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup versus the Bulls.
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.

Nembhard (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis

During his return, the 24-year-old contributed 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and two steals across 15 minutes. Nembhard will likely remain under a minutes restriction as the club works him back to playing form.

Nembhard (knee) remains listed as questionable for Tuesday's game in Toronto, but Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said he expects the guard to play, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard's inclusion on the injury report seems to be a matter of precaution after he returned to action Sunday following a 12-game absence due to left patellofemoral inflammation. He started in Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies and was limited to 15 minutes, but he performed well during his time on the court, finishing with 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and two steals. Carlisle said he expects Nembhard to get more playing time Tuesday, though the coach didn't offer up a specific minutes target for the 24-year-old.

Nembhard (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard returned from a 12-game absence Sunday due to left patellofemoral inflammation, and he finished with 14 points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals across 15 minutes in the Pacers' 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies. Quenton Jackson, Johnny Furphy and T.J. McConnell would be in line to see increased minutes off the bench if Nembhard is sidelined for Tuesday's contest.
