Nembhard (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard missed the last two games due to a back injury, but he'll be able to return to action Sunday. He could see an uptick in work against Phoenix since Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) has been ruled out.

Nembhard (back) is questionable to play Sunday against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard has missed the past two games for Indiana, but he remains day-to-day. Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is also questionable with the Pacers considering a maintenance day. If either of those two players are forced to sit, T.J. McConnell will likely be asked to step up.

Nembhard (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard continues to deal with a back injury and will be unavailable for a second consecutive game. His next chance to suit up will be Sunday against Phoenix, while T.J. McConnell should see increased run once again Friday.

Nembhard (back) will not play in Thursday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
This is a tough blow for the Pacers, as they are going to be very shorthanded Thursday night. In addition to Nembhard, the Pacers will be without Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring), Pascal Siakam (trade pending) and Aaron Nesmith (shins). T.J. McConnell is likely to see a significant workload as a result.

Nembhard is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Kings due to thoracic spine sprain.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Nembhard suffered his back injury, but it could keep him out of Thursday's contest. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) out and Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) questionable, Indiana could be left short-handed in the backcourt against Sacramento.

Nembhard notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-105 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard has scored in double digits in each of his last three starts, but the Pacers have dropped the last two of those contests, and he hasn't been able to make a difference in the backcourt the way Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) was. Nembhard averages 9.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game when deployed as a starter, and he figures to remain in that role until Haliburton is ready to return, which won't happen until next week at the earliest.

Nembhard will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Nembhard will start at point guard in Tyrese Haliburton's (hamstring) absence. T.J. McConnell is also expected to see plenty of work off the bench. Nembhard has made seven starts this season, averaging 10.0 points, 4.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per game.

Nembhard (back) tallied nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three assists across 12 minutes in Monday's 133-131 win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard held only a light role in his return from a three-game absence due to a mid-back sprain, but he likely would have seen heftier minutes had he not accrued five fouls during his limited time on the court. Coach Rick Carlisle notably inserted Nembhard into the starting unit to open the third quarter after star point guard Tyrese Haliburton suffered a hamstring strain in the second quarter that will more than likely result in him missing some time. Nembhard thus looks like the top candidate to enter the starting five in Haliburton's stead in the Pacers' next game Wednesday versus the Wizards, though Nembhard could still be in store for a split of the minutes at point guard with T.J. McConnell, who was the more productive performer of the two Monday (12 points, seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes). Even so, both Nembhard and McConnell look like strong cursory pickups in most 12-team leagues with the likelihood that Haliburton misses time.

Nembhard (back) is available for Monday's game against the Celtics, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard missed the last three games due to a back injury, but he's been cleared to return to action Monday. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 9.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 25.2 minutes per game. However, it's unclear whether the 23-year-old will face a minutes restriction during his first game back in action.

Nembhard (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Nembhard has missed the last three games due to a mid-back sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Monday. If he's unavailable once again, T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield could see additional minutes.
