Aaron Nesmith Enters 2026-27 Off the Injury Report for the Pacers
newsroom · 2 h agoAaron Nesmith is back on the Indiana Pacers roster for 2026-27, wearing No. 23, and he is not on the injury report. Last season he played 45 games, averaging 13.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 41.4 percent shooting. No recent games or trade rumors are on the board yet as the new season approaches.
Roster Snapshot
Aaron Nesmith heads into the 2026-27 season with the Indiana Pacers, wearing No. 23. He's listed as a guard-forward at 6-5 and 215 pounds. Nesmith is 26 years old and entering his sixth NBA season out of Vanderbilt. Last season he suited up for Indiana, appearing in 45 games. There's no new trade or roster news attached to him beyond that — he's simply back with the Pacers as camp gets underway for the new season.
Last Season by the Numbers
In 2025-26, Nesmith played 45 games for Indiana, averaging 29.7 minutes, 13.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, with 1.4 turnovers a game. He shot 41.4 percent from the field, 37.9 percent from three and 82.9 percent from the free-throw line. Those are the most recent numbers on file for him, and they'll be the baseline fans and the front office use to measure whatever he does once the 2026-27 season tips off.
Efficiency and Usage
Nesmith's true shooting percentage last season was 55.4, with a usage rate of 19.0 percent, meaning he wasn't the focal point of Indiana's offense but still shot efficiently within his role. His plus-minus for the season was -4.5. Combined with 37.9 percent shooting from three, the numbers point to a player who worked as a supporting wing option rather than a primary scorer, taking a modest share of possessions while staying accurate from beyond the arc.
Health Report
As of now, Aaron Nesmith is not on the injury report. There's no injury history logged for him, so there's nothing lingering from last season to monitor heading into 2026-27. For a wing who logged 45 games and 29.7 minutes a night last season, going into camp healthy is the baseline the Pacers need from him if he's going to hold down his role again this year.
What's Ahead
There's no game log yet for the 2026-27 season and no rumors circulating about Nesmith right now. The last full set of numbers on record for him is from 2025-26, when he played 45 games for Indiana. With the new season approaching and Nesmith clear of the injury report, the next real data point will be how he looks once the Pacers' opener arrives and games start counting again.
