Nembhard (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Nets.

Nembhard played in his second consecutive contest Tuesday following a 12-game absence, so he will be held out Wednesday for injury maintenance. Quenton Jackson and T.J. McConnell are candidates to pick up some minutes in Nembhard's absence.

Nembhard (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard will suit up for his second consecutive matchup following a 12-game absence due to left patellofemoral inflammation. 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Nembhard (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard has missed the Pacers' last 12 games due to left knee inflammation, but the third-year guard appears to be close to a return given his questionable tag for Sunday's game. Nembhard started in each of his seven outings, but when he returns, he'll likely come off the bench while ramping up his conditioning.

Coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Nembhard (knee) will miss at least two weeks, Tony East of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith (ankle) sidelined for the foreseeable future, Bennedict Mathurin, Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker and Quenton Jackson are all candidates for increased roles moving forward. Nembhard initially tried to play through the knee soreness, and it's unclear if he suffered a setback or just wasn't performing up to standards.
