Andrew Nembhard is set to return to action against the Bulls on Saturday after missing a game due to a quad issue. His presence will likely see Ben Sheppard returning to a bench role. Despite Nembhard’s return, T.J. McConnell is expected to maintain his position as the primary backup point guard without significant impact on his minutes.

Andrew Nembhard has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Wizards due to a quad injury. T.J. McConnell is expected to assume starting point guard duties, increasing his fantasy appeal. Additionally, Ben Sheppard may see an uptick in playing time, offering potential value in deeper leagues.

Andrew Nembhard delivered an impressive performance in Tuesday’s loss to the Utah Jazz, contributing 25 points, two rebounds, and seven assists while shooting efficiently from the field and the free-throw line. This marks his second 20-point game in three outings since returning from a shoulder injury. Despite T.J. McConnell’s return, Nembhard’s role seems secure, as his playmaking and scoring ability have become integral to Indiana’s offensive efforts.

Andrew Nembhard wrapped up Sunday’s game against the Warriors with 14 points, nine assists, and two steals, despite shooting just 5-of-16 from the field. His extended minutes over the weekend are encouraging for fantasy managers, especially considering his recent shoulder injury. With Indiana missing key players like Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith, Nembhard’s role remains pivotal as the Pacers prepare for a three-game stretch starting against the Jazz.

Andrew Nembhard tallied 22 points and six assists in 33 minutes during the Pacers’ loss to the Nuggets, marking a strong return from a seven-game shoulder injury hiatus. Despite struggling from beyond the arc, hitting just 2-of-10, Nembhard provided a crucial playmaking boost to Indiana’s lineup. His presence relegated Ben Sheppard to the bench and is expected to enhance the team’s offensive dynamics as he regains full match fitness.

In advance of Saturday’s game against the Warriors, the Pacers have confirmed that Andrew Nembhard will remain sidelined due to his ongoing shoulder injury. Nembhard, who recently began on-court activities, isn’t expected to return imminently, opening potential roster opportunities for Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker to step in as Indiana deals with multiple injuries.

Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle stated Tuesday that Andrew Nembhard is making progress with on-court work concerning his shoulder injury but remains unavailable for game action. As the Pacers contend with multiple injuries at the start of the season, they’ve added Mac McClung to their roster. However, fantasy managers might find better value in waiver targets like Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker.

Andrew Nembhard has been sidelined for the upcoming game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a shoulder injury sustained in the season opener. With Nembhard out, Ben Sheppard is expected to take on the starting role, while Jarace Walker is likely to see increased playing time to compensate for the loss of Nembhard’s playmaking abilities. The team has yet to provide a definitive timeline for Nembhard’s return.

Andrew Nembhard exited Thursday’s game against the Thunder with a shoulder injury and did not return. Ben Sheppard took over in the second half, though his fantasy value remains limited. With potential uncertainties in Nembhard’s recovery timeline, Pascal Siakam might see increased playmaking duties, but identifying a clear fantasy beneficiary is challenging as both T.J. McConnell and Kam Jones are also sidelined.

Andrew Nembhard delivered a solid performance in the Pacers’ preseason loss to the Spurs, contributing 11 points, two rebounds, and eight assists in 23 minutes of play. His near double-double effort, coupled with a game-high in assists, highlights his potential for growth this season. Following career-highs in multiple categories last year, Nembhard’s expanded role and potential improvement in three-point shooting could lead to further statistical advancements.
