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 faces uncertainty for Sunday's game against the 76ers due to a hand sprain. The injury occurred during Friday's upset win over the Knicks when Nesmith scrambled for the ball and appeared to be in considerable pain, leaving the game immediately. Despite the setback, Nesmith demonstrated his offensive prowess in the previous match, scoring 18 points on 7 of 10 shooting, including 2 of his 3 three-point attempts.
This season, he has been averaging 12.3 points per game. However, key players like All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton (left hamstring strain), wings Johnny Furphy (ACL tear) and Ben Sheppard (left meniscus tear) remain sidelined. Veteran point guard T.J. McConnell, who has been gradually increasing his playing time as he recovers from a right hamstring strain, is still listed as probable for the upcoming match.
