Pacers get good news on Aaron Nesmith hand injury ahead of 76ers
Aaron Nesmith appeared to be in significant pain when he left the game late vs. Knicks on Friday night but there was good news on the injury report
Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith's status for Sunday's game against the 76ers in Philadelphia remains uncertain due to a left hand sprain. The injury occurred while Nesmith was trying to retrieve a ball during a turnover in the final seconds of Friday's win over the Knicks. He visibly struggled with the pain and left the game immediately.
Despite his setback, Nesmith managed to contribute significantly in the game, tallying 18 points on 7 of 10 shooting, including 2 of his 3 successful three-point attempts. His season average stands at 12.3 points per game. Other notable players sidelined for the upcoming match include All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton with a left hamstring strain and defensive specialists Johnny Furphy and Ben Sheppard, both dealing with ACL and meniscus tears respectively.
Veteran point guard T.J. McConnell, who has been gradually returning from a right hamstring strain, is currently listed as probable for the game.
