Injury Update

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard has been listed as questionable for Friday’s matchup against the Washington Wizards due to a right quadriceps contusion. The team updated its injury report earlier in the day, noting that his availability will be determined closer to game time.

Team Context

Nembhard has played a key role in the Pacers’ rotation this season, contributing with consistent playmaking and defense off the bench. His potential absence could impact the team’s depth at the guard position, especially with Tyrese Haliburton carrying the bulk of the offensive load.

“He’s dealing with some soreness, and we’ll see how he feels after shootaround,” a Pacers representative said ahead of tip-off.

Next Steps

If Nembhard is unable to play, head coach Rick Carlisle may increase minutes for backup guards or shuffle the starting lineup accordingly. The Pacers are looking to maintain their strong start to the season despite uncertainty surrounding player health.
