Nesmith (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.
Although Nesmith hasn't suited up for the Pacers since a Nov. 1 loss to New Orleans due to a left ankle sprain, his questionable designation is a sign that he's closing in on a return. If the 25-year-old remains on the shelf against Detroit, 2023 first-rounder Ben Sheppard should continue handling a significant role in Indiana's rotation.
