Aaron Nesmith was cleared on the injury report Sunday and moved off Day-To-Day. The Pacers play at the Bucks on Monday at 8:00 PM ET.
What happened
The injury report cleared Nesmith at 5:38 PM ET on Sunday, Oct. 25. His previous status was Day-To-Day. The report gave no detail and no comment with the update. A return date was not announced. Sunday's move ends a stretch of changes. He was Day-To-Day with a left leg hamstring issue on Saturday. He was cleared on Friday, Oct. 23. He went from Out to Day-To-Day on Wednesday, Oct. 21, after being listed Out on Tuesday, Oct. 20. Before that, he was Day-To-Day for the hamstring on Thursday, Oct. 15, and for rest on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
What it means for the Pacers
Indiana is 1-1 and sits seventh in the standings after a loss in its last game. The next game is at Milwaukee on Monday, Oct. 26, at 8:00 PM ET. Nesmith has played one game last season, averaging 20.1 minutes, 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist. In the games he missed, Andrew Nembhard played 29.3 minutes and Tyrese Haliburton 28.6. Pascal Siakam played 26.4, Ivica Zubac 21.4 and Obi Toppin 21.2. Kelly Oubre Jr. played 19.4 minutes, Jarace Walker 13.7 and Quenton Jackson 12.5. Zubac is Day-To-Day with an ankle issue. Ben Sheppard, Johnny Furphy and T.J. McConnell are out.
What to watch
The next injury report comes before Monday's game at Milwaukee. Watch whether Nesmith's name stays off it and whether his minutes return to the 20 he played in his one game. His hamstring issue has returned before, so the status has changed several times in two weeks. Zubac's ankle is the other status to follow, along with the three players listed Out. No return date is announced for any of them.
