Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Will miss around four weeks
Nesmith (knee) is expected to be out for around four weeks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Nesmith suffered a knee injury in Thursday's game against the Suns, and while he was always expected to miss time, head coach Rick Carlisle acknowledged that he's happy the timeline for Nesmith's return won't be longer. There's a possibility he might return before that initial four-week stretch, according to Carlisle, but the Pacers are expected to be cautious with his recovery. With Nesmith out, Jarace Walker, Ben Sheppard and Cody Martin are expected to see an uptick in playing time.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Expected to miss time
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said after Thursday's 133-98 loss to the Suns that Nesmith (knee) avoided a serious injury, but he will miss some time, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. Nesmith recorded 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes prior to departing.
The Pacers were bitten by the injury bug yet again Thursday, with Nesmith likely to miss at least a game or two after exiting with what the team is labeling as a sore left knee. With Nesmith sidelined for the Pacers' next contest Saturday versus the Raptors, more playing time on the wing could open up for Jarace Walker, Ben Sheppard and Cody Martin (illness).

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Goes down with knee injury
Nesmith went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Suns due to left knee soreness and won't return, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports. He recorded 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes before exiting.
Nesmith appeared to slip on the court and had a difficult time getting back up. He eventually needed help making his way to the locker room and was quickly ruled out. Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard should see an uptick in chances down the stretch in Nesmith's absence.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Returning Tuesday
Nesmith (forearm) will play in Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.
Nesmith was held out of Sunday's matchup due to a right forearm bruise, but he'll be back in action Tuesday. He has averaged 20.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.0 assists over his last five appearances.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Ruled out Sunday
Nesmith (forearm) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Nesmith will sit out his first game of the season while dealing with a right forearm contusion. His absence further depletes an already injury-hampered Pacers roster, with Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard likely candidates to absorb additional minutes. Nesmith's next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Jazz.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Scores 15 points in loss
Nesmith closed with 15 points (6-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets.
Nesmith continues to find ways to produce for the Pacers, and he's probably the most consistent offensive weapon on the roster after Pascal Siakam. Nesmith has scored at least 15 points in five of his last seven outings, averaging 17.0 points per game and shooting 34.3 percent from three-point range over that stretch.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Drops 17 in loss
Nesmith chipped in 17 points (5-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 117-115 loss to the Bucks.
Nesmith has now dropped at least 12 points and made two or more threes in three straight contests. He has been able to shoulder the brunt of Indiana's offensive responsibilities amid the team's plethora of injuries. On the season, Nesmith is averaging 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.9 threes made.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Propels Pacers to first victory
Nesmith totaled 31 points (10-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 win over Golden State.
Nesmith broke out for his best performance of the season to date, dominating as a scorer after being held to just 17 total points in his previous two matchups. He was effective all over the court, adding 15 of his 31 from beyond the arc while also going perfect from the charity stripe. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this type of scoring production regularly, but it's nice to see a breakout game in what has otherwise been a slow start to the year for the 26-year-old.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Scores five points on 16 shots
Nesmith registered five points (2-16 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one turnover in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 loss to the Mavs.
Nesmith couldn't buy a bucket, but that was a team-wide trend for Indiana, with the Pacers going just 37-106 from the floor Wednesday evening. Ben Sheppard posted four points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two turnovers across 25 minutes in the narrow loss.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Needs 17 shots to score 18 points
Nesmith supplied 18 points (6-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Timberwolves.
With Bennedict Mathurin (foot) on the sidelines, Nesmith is being looked to as the No. 2 option on offense, and he's been getting plenty of shots up. Unfortunately, not a lot of them have been falling, as he's been converting just 39.3 percent of his attempts over the past two games. Still, he's posting averages of 16.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 triples and 1.5 assists per game over that stretch, granting him some low-end value in points leagues.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Scores 15 points in loss
Nesmith finished with 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to the Grizzlies.
Nesmith led the Pacers in minutes played (31) and made threes (four) during their loss on Saturday. Bennedict Mathurin left the game before the fourth quarter due to right foot soreness, and if he's not ready to go for Sunday's road tilt against Minnesota, Nesmith could be asked to carry more of the load on offense in his stead.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Fouls out during season opener
Nesmith posted five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and seven rebounds in 27 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.
As most defenders do, Nesmith struggled to stay out of foul trouble while guarding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, which ruined the former's production during the Nuggets' regular-season opener. Brighter days are ahead for Nesmith, and there's a ton of usage to go around with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) sidelined for the entire campaign and Myles Turner now in Milwaukee. Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) also left this contest early, and if he joins T.J. McConnell (hamstring) on the short-term injury list, Indiana will have to dig deep into their bench early in the season.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Signs extension with Indiana
The Pacers signed Nesmith to a two-year, $40.4 million contract extension Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Nesmith is now set to remain with the Pacers through the 2028-29 campaign after signing the extension. The 26-year-old forward was traded from Boston to Indiana in July of 2022 and quickly became a key part of the Pacers' rotation. He appeared in 45 regular-season games (37 starts) in 2024-25, during which he averaged 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 50.7 percent from the field and 43.1 percent from beyond the arc in 24.9 minutes per game.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Logs 12 points in preseason finale
Nesmith finished Friday's 133-104 preseason loss to the Spurs with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal over 18 minutes.
Nesmith was one of just four Indiana players to score in double digits Friday as the Pacers connected on just 41.5 percent of their field-goal attempts. The 2020 first-rounder has averaged at least 12.0 points per game in each of the last two seasons, and his role in the Pacers' offense should expand during the 2025-26 campaign following the departure of Myles Turner to Milwaukee and with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out for the season.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Starting Monday
Nesmith is starting Monday's preseason game against the Spurs, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
After missing Saturday's preseason win over the Thunder for rest reasons, Nesmith will be back in action Monday. Jarace Walker is back in the second unit against the Spurs.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Doesn't suit up Saturday
Nesmith (rest) did not play in Saturday's preseason win over the Thunder.
The Pacers sat all three of Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard and Nesmith in what was a planned maintenance day. Nesmith's next chance to play comes in Monday's exhibition against the Spurs.
