Aaron Nesmith: Breaking News
Another absence coming
Nesmith (neck) is out for Friday's game against the 76ers. Nesmith will miss his seventh straight game and remains without a timetable to return. He should be considered doubtful for the season finale Sunday.
Won't face Brooklyn
Nesmith (neck) is out for Thursday's game against the Nets. Nesmith is one of several regulars who won't be playing Thursday, and the Pacers aren't expected to risk him with three games left in the regular season. With Nesmith out, look for Ethan Thompson, who's on a two-way contract, should have a bigger role in the Pacers' backcourt.
