US EditionPacers Health Issues Rise: Aaron Nesmith To Miss Time With Knee Injury
- Pacers' starting small forward Aaron Nesmith left Thursday's game in Phoenix with a knee injury, and Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said he will miss at least four weeks.
- An awkward entanglement with Indiana Pacers teammate Jeremiah Robinson‑Earl caused Nesmith to roll off and be carried to the locker room, while reporters saw him limping but walking on both legs.
- This year, Nesmith has averaged a career-best 15.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 11 games, with the Pacers about 20 points per 100 possessions better when he plays.
- If Nesmith’s absence lasts multiple weeks, he will count toward the Pacers’ ability to add a hardship player starting November 20, while Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker are poised to take on bigger roles.
- The Pacers, who began the night 1-11, face a deep injury crisis, though coach Carlisle said high-scoring wing Bennedict Mathurin is `getting close` to a return.
