Top Aaron Nesmith News

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Not listed on injury report

    Nesmith (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game in Memphis.

    Nesmith sat out Monday's 108-104 loss to the Hawks for rest purposes, but he'll be back in action Wednesday evening. Nesmith is averaging 12.2 points, 1.8 assists and 1.7 triples per game this season.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Will not suit up Monday

    Nesmith (rest) is sitting out Monday against Atlanta.

    The Pacers are holding him out for left hamstring injury management, but this is a maintenance day and not a setback for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Kelly Oubre and Jarace Walker could see hefty workloads with so many Pacers sitting out.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Limited output in loss

    Nesmith finished with 11 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and a steal across 30 minutes in Sunday's 98-90 loss to the Nets.

    Nesmith struggled from beyond the arc, missing all four of his three-point attempts, but salvaged some offensive production at the free-throw line. His four assists were a season-high output, and he also scored in double digits for the fourth time in the Pacers' last five games. Nesmith should continue to enjoy an expanded offensive role with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined for the time being.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Will play Sunday

    Nesmith (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Brooklyn, Alex Golden of SI.com reports.

    Nesmith has been probable on Indiana's injury report for much of the campaign to this point, but he's been able to play through the ailment outside of him missing the season opener. He's yet to top 30 minutes of play, however, as the Pacers are opting to play it safe, with Nesmith only exceeding 22 minutes once in five appearances.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Probable versus Nets

    Nesmith (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn.

    Nesmith didn't play in the 123-120 loss to New Orleans on Opening Night but has played in each of the Pacers' last five contests. Although he could see limited action while he continues to work his way back from the left hamstring strain, he will likely be out there Sunday, barring a setback.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Good to go Friday

    Nesmith (hamstring) is available to play in Friday's game against Miami.

    Nesmith has been battling a hamstring injury. He didn't suit up for the 123-120 loss to New Orleans on Opening Night but has been on the floor for Indiana's last four regular-season games. The 2020 No. 14 overall pick may continue to operate under a minutes restriction, though he logged a season-high 27 minutes in Wednesday's 114-109 loss to Philadelphia.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Expected to play Friday

    Nesmith (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Heat.

    The Pacers continue to monitor Nesmith's health while he works back from a hamstring injury. The sharpshooter has watched his minutes climb incrementally in each of his last three appearances, so it's possible Nesmith will be ready for a larger workload Friday.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Continues to ramp up Wednesday

    Nesmith racked up 18 points (5-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers.

    Nesmith logged a season-high 27 minutes, an encouraging sign after being limited to roughly 20 minutes per game through his first three appearances. The additional playing time led to increased production, something he is going to have to do more of after Tyrese Haliburton was earlier ruled out for at least two weeks due to a hamstring injury. While Nesmith doesn't have the highest ceiling, he is worth considering in standard leagues, at least until Haliburton is cleared to return.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Available to play

    Nesmith (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

    Nesmith will power through the hamstring issue, and with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) unavailable, Nesmith could be a bit more involved in the offense. Through the first three games of the season, Nesmith is averaging 11.7 points and 2.0 three-pointers per contest.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Downgraded to questionable

    Nesmith (hamstring) is now questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

    Nesmith was initially listed as probable. However, he's now heading in the wrong direction and appears to be in danger of missing his second game of the 2026-27 campaign. If Nesmith is ruled out, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker are candidates for more minutes, with one of them likely to enter the starting lineup.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Probable for Wednesday

    Nesmith (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

    Nesmith has been slowly ramping up after missing some of the preseason and Indiana's first regular-season game with a hamstring injury, so it'll be interesting to see if his minutes are bumped up Wednesday. Through the first three games of the year, Nesmith is averaging 11.7 points and 2.0 triples in 20 minutes per contest.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Available Monday

    Nesmith (hamstring) will play Monday night against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Nesmith has been dealing with a nagging left hamstring issue, but it's a positive sign that he was able to take the court Sunday, and he'll now play in the second half of the team's back-to-back Monday after previously being tagged as probable. The Pacers have been careful with his workload in the early going of the 2026-27 season, keeping him around the 20-minute mark in each of his first two appearances.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Probable for Monday

    Nesmith (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game against the Bucks.

    Nesmith is expected to suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He was limited to 19 minutes Sunday against the Nets, finishing with 13 points, two assists and one rebound.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Starting Sunday

    Nesmith (hamstring) will start Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Nesmith was deemed probable ahead of game time due to a left hamstring injury, but he will be able to play through it. After coming off the bench in his first appearance this season, Nesmith will enter the starting five Sunday.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Available Sunday

    Nesmith (hamstring) will play during Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Nesmith was deemed probable ahead of Sunday's game due to a left hamstring strain, but he will be able to play through it. Nesmith made his first appearance of the season Friday and logged nine points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and an assist in 20 minutes off the bench.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Probable for Sunday

    Nesmith (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn.

    Nesmith made his regular-season debut in Friday's loss to the Mavericks, ditching his questionable tag due to a left hamstring strain. He played limited minutes off the bench in his return and could be on a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play Sunday. If the 27-year-old wing remains limited or is ultimately ruled out, Jarace Walker and Kelly Oubre could see increased minutes.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Not starting Friday

    Nesmith is not starting Friday against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Nesmith was deemed available earlier in the day, but he won't be inserted into the starting lineup right away, as the Pacers are taking a cautious approach with him. Jarace Walker will remain the starting small forward.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Good to go Friday

    Nesmith (hamstring) will play in Friday's game against Dallas, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Nesmith will return to action after missing Wednesday's season-opening win over New Orleans with a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old swingman's return will likely send Kelly Oubre to the bench.

  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Iffy for Friday

    Nesmith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

    Nesmith has been dealing with a left hamstring strain that kept him out of Wednesday's season-opening win over New Orleans, though he could return Friday. If the 27-year-old swingman remains sidelined, Jarace Walker and Kelly Oubre would likely see an uptick in minutes.
