Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is expected to be sidelined until at least December, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Nesmith suffered a right ankle sprain during a game on November 1. The team was hopeful Nesmith could return in a few weeks, but that's not the case. Bennedict Mathurin figures to remain in the starting lineup going forward. The extended playing time should make him an attractive fantasy option everywhere.
