Andrew Nembhard Enters 2026-27 Healthy, Coming Off a 16.9-Point Season for the Pacers
newsroom · 2 h agoAndrew Nembhard is back with Indiana for the 2026-27 season after averaging 16.9 points and 7.7 assists a year ago. He is not on the injury report heading into the new season. The Pacers guard heads into his fifth year looking to build on a career-best playmaking season.
Last Season by the Numbers
Andrew Nembhard played 57 games for Indiana in 2025-26, averaging 31.3 minutes, 16.9 points, 7.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.1 blocks. He turned the ball over 2.4 times per game. Those are full-season, per-game marks from a year in which he handled a heavy share of the Pacers' offense. At 26 years old and entering his fifth season out of Gonzaga, Nembhard's 2025-26 line stands as the most complete stat set of his career so far. He wears No. 2 and is listed at guard-forward, 6-4, 191 pounds. Indiana will look to him again in 2026-27 to run the offense and set the tone as a table-setter, not just a scorer.
Shooting and Efficiency
Nembhard shot 44.2 percent from the field last season, 36.1 percent from three-point range and 82.5 percent from the foul line. His true shooting percentage came in at 56.4 percent on a usage rate of 23.3 percent. That combination shows a guard who shoots efficiently without needing a massive share of the offense to be effective. The free-throw number in particular stands out: an 82.5 percent mark from the line is elite for a guard who also averaged 7.7 assists. Indiana will want that shooting profile to hold as Nembhard heads into the 2026-27 season, especially the three-point number given how much ball-handling responsibility he carries.
Playmaking Role
The 7.7 assists per game last season were the headline number in Nembhard's 2025-26 stat line, paired with a 23.3 usage rate that shows he was a primary engine for the Pacers' offense. A 2.4 turnover average against that assist total points to a guard controlling the ball at a high volume without giving it away carelessly. Indiana leaned on him for 31.3 minutes a night, a starter's workload. Entering 2026-27, that role projects to continue: Nembhard is the kind of guard whose value shows up in ball movement and shot creation for others as much as in his own scoring, which sat at 16.9 points per game.
The One Number That Stands Out
Nembhard's plus-minus in 2025-26 was minus-6.9, a figure that stands in contrast to his individual production. That number reflects team-level results while he was on the floor, not his personal shooting or playmaking numbers, which were strong across the board. It is worth watching how that figure moves in 2026-27 as Indiana's roster and results take shape around him. Everything else in his statistical profile, from the 44.2 percent shooting to the 7.7 assists, points to a productive individual season for the guard last year.
Health Entering 2026-27
Andrew Nembhard is not on the injury report heading into the 2026-27 season. There is no injury history to note for him at this point. That is a clean bill of health for a guard who played 57 games last season and carried a heavy 31.3-minute workload. For Indiana, having Nembhard available and healthy matters given how much of the offense ran through him a year ago, with his 7.7 assists and 23.3 usage rate reflecting significant on-ball responsibility. Fans watching the Pacers' backcourt this season will want to track his availability as the year unfolds.
Background
Nembhard is 26 years old and enters his fourth season of NBA experience, though the label attached to him is his fifth listed year of experience per the team notes. He played college basketball at Gonzaga before turning pro. He is listed at guard-forward, standing 6-4 and weighing 191 pounds, and wears No. 2 for Indiana. His most recent full season, 2025-26, was spent entirely with the Pacers, the same team he opens 2026-27 with. That continuity gives Indiana a known quantity at the position as the new season begins.
