Aaron Nesmith Out for Sixth Consecutive Game

Apr 9, 2026, 8:18 AM ET

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (neck) will sit out Thursday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets, missing his sixth consecutive game. Health issues have limited Nesmith to just 45 outings this campaign, and there's no point in bringing him back for the final regular-season games. Pascal Siakam (ankle) and Andrew Nembhard (back) are also out, so reserves like Ethan Thompson, Jalen Slawson, and Quenton Jackson will have more prominent roles in a favorable fantasy matchup. Given how poor both defenses have been this season, it should be a free-scoring game.--Taavi Pailk
