Prior to exiting, Nembhard contributed four points, a rebound and four assists in 17 minutes.
Because Nembhard will not play in the second half, early exit is in play. All qualifying bets will be honored within 24 hours.
With T.J. McConnell also out with injury, the Pacers are incredibly thin in the backcourt. Taelon Peter and Ben Sheppard should see more action while Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin should see upticks in usage rate.
