Aaron Nesmith Fantasy Stats

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle, back) is listed as probable for Friday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 26-year-old is a bit banged up, dealing with ankle and lower back injuries, but he is expected to make a second straight appearance. Nesmith ended a five-game absence on Wednesday against the Clippers but clearly wasn't himself, notching two points, three rebounds, and two assists with 1-for-8 shooting. Indiana limited Nesmith to 20 minutes on Wednesday night and may continue to monitor his minutes against the Lakers.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has missed five games with a right ankle sprain and may sit out another contest against the Clippers. Ben Sheppard has seen regular action as a starter during Nesmith's absence and will lose minutes if he returns on Wednesday night. Since Nesmith left the lineup, Sheppard has had his best spell of the season, averaging 10.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas as he continues to recover from a right ankle sprain. This will be his second straight absence, leaving wing minutes available but without a clear fantasy winner. Ben Sheppard logged 20 minutes in the last game and finished with eight points, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal, while Kobe Brown played 33 minutes and posted 12 points, five rebounds, two threes, and two steals. Both remain fringe and risky options for streaming in deeper formats. Pascal Siakam and Jarace Walker should continue to absorb stable usage.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will sit out Friday's matchup against Washington after turning his ankle in the first half Thursday. With Nesmith sidelined and Pascal Siakam (personal) also away from the team, Indiana is thin on the wing. Kobe Brown stepped into an expanded role and logged 33 minutes in the previous loss to Washington, producing 12 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one block, and two 3-pointers. His game log has been volatile, but the path to minutes is clear, making him a deep-league streamer. Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard should also see stable workloads.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (back) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Nesmith sat out the final game before the All-Star break due to lower back soreness. He was able to get fully healthy during the break and has shed the questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game. His return to the rotation should move Ben Sheppard back to the bench. Nesmith is averaging 13.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 30.5 minutes per game this season. He's worth rostering in deep leagues as he's usually a fairly consistent contributor.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (back) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Wizards. He didn't suit up for the meeting with the Nets ahead of the All-Star break because of a lumbar strain. While Nesmith has a shot at playing on Thursday, it's also realistic to assume he won't be back on the court until Friday when these clubs meet again. With Pascal Siakam (personal) sidelined, Andrew Nembhard and Jarace Walker have the best chance of leading the way offensively if Nesmith doesn't suit up. Jay Huff could also be more involved on both ends of the floor, especially with Ivica Zubac (ankle) still on the shelf.

The Indiana Pacers are sitting a handful of rotation players on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Starters Pascal Siakam (hamstring), Andrew Nembhard (injury management), and Aaron Nesmith (back) have all been ruled out. Reserve guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also won't play. Center Micah Potter (ankle) and forward Jarace Walker (illness) are questionable. The lengthy injury report comes on the second night of a back-to-back after Indiana's overtime win over the Knicks on Tuesday. With 14 games on the NBA slate, it's unlikely that any Indiana player who is shoved into the starting lineup will be stream-worthy.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (hand) will be in the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Knicks, SNY's Ian Begley reports. It was initially unclear whether he would play after Indiana listed Nesmith as questionable on the injury report. On Tuesday, Nesmith will look to regain his scoring touch, having finished Sunday's loss to Toronto with only seven points. He has averaged 13.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across his last 10 appearances. Since Nesmith isn't fully healthy, he could be unavailable for the second leg of a back-to-back set on Wednesday against Brooklyn.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (hand) will be sidelined for his team's Tuesday matchup with the Jazz due to a left hand strain. The team also ruled out Andrew Nembhard (back), Pascal Siakam (rest), and Bennedict Mathurin (rest), so it's hard to know if Nesmith's injury is something that will cost him time going forward or not. He has scored at least 14 points in each of his last five games, and he's establishing himself with a regular role in the lineup. Without so many starters on Tuesday, the team will likely lean heavily on Ben Sheppard, Johnny Furphy, Jarace Walker, and Quenton Jackson to help fill minutes and production on the wings.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Philadelphia, extending his absence to nine straight contests since suffering a right thumb sprain on Jan. 2. Indiana continues to reshuffle wing minutes, keeping Aaron Nesmith (rest) in a featured scoring role upon his return. Johnny Furphy has started recently and delivered double-digit scoring twice over his last five games, making him a deep-league streamer. Ben Sheppard remains a volatile option due to fluctuating minutes and usage.
