Top Andrew Nembhard News

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Returning Wednesday

    Nembhard (neck) will play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Nembhard will return from a one-game absence after dealing with soreness in his neck. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) set to miss an extended period of time, Nembhard should step into the role as the primary ballhandler. He'll be comfortable as the lead guard after filling that spot admirably in 2025-26 with Haliburton recovering from his Achilles injury.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Questionable to face Philadelphia

    Nembhard (neck) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

    Nembhard is still dealing with soreness in his neck and could miss a second straight game. The 26-year-old guard's absence would open up additional minutes for guys like Quenton Jackson, Braden Smith and Jarace Walker, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is downgraded from questionable to out.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Out vs. Bucks

    Nembhard (neck/back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Milwaukee, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Nembhard picked up a neck injury during Sunday's game against Brooklyn, though coach Rick Carlisle noted that it's a back issue that will force the guard to miss Monday's clash. T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Ben Sheppard (knee) and Johnny Furphy (knee) are also unavailable, presumably leading to additional opportunities for Kelly Oubre and Quenton Jackson in the backcourt against the Bucks.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Questionable for Monday

    Nembhard (neck) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.

    Nembhard tallied 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Indiana's win over Brooklyn on Sunday, but it appears he picked up a neck issue in the process. If he's unable to suit up for the second half of the Pacers' back-to-back set, Quenton Jackson and Jalen Slawson would likely see increased playing time.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Strong Opening Night showing

    Nembhard posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 win over the Pelicans.

    Despite the return of Tyrese Haliburton, Nembhard still maintained a significant on-ball role. Although his usage is set to take a dip with Haliburton back in the mix, it looks initially that Nembhard will at least be able to deliver late-round fantasy value this season.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Set to return Friday

    Nembhard (undisclosed) is set to return for Friday's preseason game against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    There was no mention of any injury to Nembhard in the pre-game press conference. Nembhard is projected to start alongside Tyrese Haliburton on Opening Night.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Won't play Tuesday

    Nembhard (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

    It's unclear if Nembhard is dealing with an injury, though it's possible he's just receiving a rest day. His final chance to play before the regular season will come Friday against Milwaukee.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Not listed in starting lineup

    Nembhard won't start Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder.

    Ben Sheppard and Kelly Oubre will start in place of Nesmith and Nembhard, who may both be receiving a rest day in Indiana's penultimate preseason game. Nembhard is expected to open the regular season as Indiana's starting shooting guard.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Efficient shooting in narrow loss

    Nembhard finished with 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound and three assists across 22 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.

    Nembhard delivered an efficient shooting performance, and the coaching staff closely monitored his playing time, as it did for each projected starter. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about the playing time limitations or limited contributions. Nembhard is set to open the season as the starting shooting guard next to Tyrese Haliburton in the Pacers' backcourt.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Quiet offensive outing

    Nembhard registered four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason victory over Minnesota.

    Nembhard had a relatively quiet scoring performance while starting alongside Tyrese Haliburton. With Haliburton returning to action, Nembhard's preseason usage will provide an early indication of how Indiana plans to distribute backcourt responsibilities.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Sits out for Canada

    Nembhard did not participate in Canada's latest FIBA World Cup qualifying window as he shifts his focus toward the upcoming NBA season.

    Nembhard is coming off a career-best 2025-26 campaign with Indiana, averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 31.3 minutes across 57 regular-season appearances. The 26-year-old established himself as a full-time starter and primary playmaker for the Pacers, giving him a strong foundation for fantasy value entering 2026-27. Nembhard should once again handle a significant workload in Indiana's backcourt, though he may see a decline in usage if Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) is fully healthy.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Efficient in win for Canada

    Nembhard (back) produced 23 points (9-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes for Canada in Friday's 110-84 World Cup Qualifiers win over Puerto Rico.

    Nembhard missed the final seven games of the 2025-26 regular season with a lingering back issue, but the Pacers were likely being extremely cautious. He finished the campaign averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 31.3 minutes. In 2026-27, he'll likely be utilized off the ball more with the return of Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles).

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Won't play Sunday

    Nembhard (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

    Nembhard will miss Indiana's season finale, marking a seventh straight absence to end the campaign. The 26-year-old guard took a significant step forward in Tyrese Haliburton's (Achilles) absence this season, and Nembhard will finish the campaign averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 31.3 minutes per showing in 57 regular-season outings.
