Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Still working through knee injury
Nembhard (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Nembhard returned from a 12-game absence Sunday due to left patellofemoral inflammation, and he finished with 14 points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals across 15 minutes in the Pacers' 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies. Quenton Jackson, Johnny Furphy and T.J. McConnell would be in line to see increased minutes off the bench if Nembhard is sidelined for Tuesday's contest.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Muted performance in loss
Haliburton totaled eight points (3-10 FG, 2-9 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies.
This was a tough night for Haliburton, failing to record double-digit points for the fifth time this campaign. Dud aside, Haliburton was trending up before Sunday, and he's still averaging first-round value in nine-category formats over his last five games with 22.0 points, 8.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 4.8 three-pointers.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Plays well off bench
Walker racked up nine points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies.
Despite the loss, the Pacers got some quality production from their second unit with Walker and Obi Toppin playing well. Walker has now put together positive back-to-back outings, averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 3.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in those two games.

Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Leads way with near double-double
Mathurin closed with 19 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies.
Mathurin did all he could to help Indiana come out on top Sunday, leading all Pacers in scoring and rebounds while concluding one board shy of a double-double in a losing effort. Mathurin has recorded at least 10 points and nine rebounds in four of his last six outings, and he's hauled in at least nine boards on eight occasions this season.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Strong outing off bench in defeat
McConnell totaled 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies.
McConnell once again provided a nice spark off the Indiana bench in Sunday's defeat, leading all bench players in assists while concluding as one of four Pacers with 15 or more points. McConnell has recorded at least 15 points in three outings this year, and Sunday marked the first time he generated at least 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in the same game. The guard has now reached double figures in scoring in six of his last eight contests.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Well-rounded line in limited run
Nembhard (knee) tallied 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and two steals across 15 minutes in Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies.
Though Nembhard started in his return from a 12-game absence due to left patellofemoral inflammation, he was on a strict minutes restriction, as he played all 15 of his minutes in the first two quarters. Nembhard made the most of his time on the court, putting up plenty of shots and converting them at an efficient clip. Expect Nembhard's minutes to remain limited for at least another game or two, but he should eventually settle back into a more consistent 25-to-30-minute role once he's reconditioned.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Returns to game Sunday
Toppin returned to Sunday's game against the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Toppin was hit while dunking during the third quarter and sustained a left ankle sprain. However, he's back and should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Iffy to return Sunday
Toppin is questionable to return during Sunday's game against Memphis due to a left ankle sprain.
Toppin was hit while dunking during the third quarter, though he remained in the game briefly. If the big man is unable to return for the fourth quarter, Myles Turner and Jarace Walker should pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Slides to bench Sunday
Jackson will come off the bench in Sunday's matchup against Memphis, Tony East of SI.com reports.
With Andrew Nembhard (knee) making his return to game action, Jackson will retreat to the bench. The 26-year-old has started in six consecutive games, during which he averaged 10.7 points, 3.2 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 25.2 minutes per game.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Still weeks away from game action
Coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Nesmith (ankle) is still weeks away from returning to game action, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Andrew Nembhard (knee) is returning to the Pacers' starting lineup Sunday, but they'll still be without Nesmith for the foreseeable future. Quenton Jackson will move to the bench to make room for Nembhard, while Bennedict Mathurin should continue to start until Nesmith is cleared to play again. Given Carlisle's vague return timeline, it seems unlikely Nesmith will be able to play until after the NBA Cup concludes.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Will play Sunday
Head coach Rick Carlisle said that Nembhard (knee) will start in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies but will be subject to an unspecified minutes restriction, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Nembhard will return to action after a 12-game absence due to left patellofemoral inflammation. Since the 24-year-old likely isn't in optimal condition after the extended absence, the Pacers will monitor his playing time carefully Sunday, but Nembhard may need only a couple games before he's ready to handle a regular 25-plus-minute role. In his seven appearances this season prior to missing time with the injury, Nembhard averaged 7.3 points, 4.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 26.7 minutes per game.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Won't play Sunday
Nesmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Nesmith has been sidelined since spraining his left ankle against the Pelicans on Nov. 1. He is expected to return to action in December, though he will have to wait until at least Tuesday's game against Toronto to see the court.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Questionable to play Sunday
Nembhard (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Nembhard has missed the Pacers' last 12 games due to left knee inflammation, but the third-year guard appears to be close to a return given his questionable tag for Sunday's game. Nembhard started in each of his seven outings, but when he returns, he'll likely come off the bench while ramping up his conditioning.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Showcases quick hands
Walker provided 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and five steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 130-106 loss to Detroit.
Walker was one of two Pacer bench players to score in double figures, but his largest contribution took place on the defensive end. He accounted for five of his team's nine steals after failing to record a steal in his previous two games entering the day. This was a solid all-around showing for the Houston product, who was averaging 4.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last seven games prior to Friday's outburst.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Falls just short of double-double
Siakam recorded 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 130-106 loss to the Pistons.
Siakam led the Pacers in scoring and was the only member of his squad to reach the 20-point threshold. He also found success on the glass, posting his best rebounding performance since Nov. 18 against the Raptors. Siakam is now averaging 22.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists over his last seven appearances.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Below-average night vs. Detroit
Haliburton contributed 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound and five assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 130-106 loss to the Pistons.
Haliburton had a solid night shooting the ball, but he didn't have his usual success as a distributor. Friday's performance marked his lowest assist total since Nov. 18 against Toronto and his first time failing to record a steal in one week. Despite a slow night, he's averaging 24.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five games.
