What happened: Aaron Nesmith was upgraded from probable with a left hamstring strain to available. Andrew Nembhard was ruled out with neck soreness. Kobe Brown, Jalen Slawson and Braden Smith were listed as available on two-way status.

Why it matters: Nembhard's absence leaves Indiana to Nesmith's clearance keeps a wing option in the rotation. Two-way availability adds bench depth for the trip.

What to watch: Indiana plays in Milwaukee on Monday night. Nembhard's status is the next rotation variable.
