Aaron Nesmith's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (quadriceps) could come out of the lineup again on Tuesday versus Dallas. He's played the last two games after returning from an ankle sprain, but Nesmith is now dealing with a bruise on his left quadriceps. Nesmith has been a good glue guy for the Pacers in the starting unit, registering 12.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steals across the season. Bennedict Mathurin had a run as a starter during his most recent absence and appears poised to fill Nesmith's spot again if he's unavailable. The 2024 NBA Rookie Challenge MVP has finally found some consistency lately and boasts solid numbers as a starter, with 15.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists.

On Friday, Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will be in the lineup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 24-year-old hasn't played tending to a right ankle sprain in the team's last four games. Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin have been a part of the starting five. With Nesmith in, Nembhard will likely move to the bench. In 51 games, Nesmith averages 12.6 points and 1.4 assists while playing 27.1 minutes per contest this season.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has been tagged as questionable against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. The 24-year-old wing hasn't played in the team's last four games while he tends to a sprained right ankle, and he may be forced to miss a fifth. He'll likely test it out during shootaround and warmup to see if he can fully give it a go. Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin have joined the starting five in his absence and have both contributed some solid stat lines. Nembhard would be the more likely candidate to move to the bench once Nesmith returns, but for now, they're both solid fantasy plays regardless of the league or format.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against New Orleans. He would be out for a fourth straight game if Nesmith can't return from a right ankle sprain. Bennedict Mathurin has taken over from Nesmith in the starting lineup and could be in for another big night on Wednesday if he continues to receive extra minutes. The newly crowned NBA Rookie Challenge MVP matched his career high with a 34-point effort against Toronto on Monday.

The Indiana Pacers have downgraded forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) from doubtful to out for Monday's game versus the Toronto Raptors. Nesmith sprained his right ankle in Indy's final game before the All-Star break and still isn't ready to play, but he'll hope to return in Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard are both worthwhile streamers in a contest with the highest implied point total (245.5) on Monday's four-game slate.
