Nembhard (knee) tallied 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and two steals across 15 minutes in Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Though Nembhard started in his return from a 12-game absence due to left patellofemoral inflammation, he was on a strict minutes restriction, as he played all 15 of his minutes in the first two quarters. Nembhard made the most of his time on the court, putting up plenty of shots and converting them at an efficient clip. Expect Nembhard's minutes to remain limited for at least another game or two, but he should eventually settle back into a more consistent 25-to-30-minute role once he's reconditioned.

Head coach Rick Carlisle said that Nembhard (knee) will start in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies but will be subject to an unspecified minutes restriction, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Nembhard will return to action after a 12-game absence due to left patellofemoral inflammation. Since the 24-year-old likely isn't in optimal condition after the extended absence, the Pacers will monitor his playing time carefully Sunday, but Nembhard may need only a couple games before he's ready to handle a regular 25-plus-minute role. In his seven appearances this season prior to missing time with the injury, Nembhard averaged 7.3 points, 4.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 26.7 minutes per game.
