Injury Report for tonight's game in Milwaukee: Aaron Nesmith - Probable (left hamstring strain) Andrew Nembhard - Quest Via @Pacers on X

What happened: Indiana updated its status ahead of tonight's road game in Milwaukee. Aaron Nesmith is probable with a left hamstring strain and Andrew Nembhard is questionable with neck soreness. Ben Sheppard, Johnny Furphy and T.J. McConnell are out.

Why it matters: Nesmith's availability shapes the wing rotation after he played through the hamstring issue in Brooklyn. Indiana enters at 2-1 following a 136-109 win at Brooklyn on Oct. 25. Furphy will miss the remainder of the season with a torn right ACL, while Sheppard has no timetable after a torn left meniscus.

By the numbers: Indiana is 2-1 after beating Brooklyn 136-109 on Oct. 25. Furphy: torn right ACL, out for season. Sheppard: torn left meniscus, no timetable. McConnell: right hamstring strain, out.

What to watch: Nembhard's status will be decided closer to tip in Milwaukee. Nesmith's minutes will show how much of the hamstring limitation remains.
