Injury Report for tonight's game in Brooklyn:
Aaron Nesmith - Available (left hamstring strain)
Ben Sheppard - Out (lef Via @Pacers on X
What happened: Nesmith is officially available for Sunday night's road matchup in Brooklyn after managing a left hamstring strain. Guard T.J. McConnell remains out with a right hamstring strain, alongside Ben Sheppard (left knee soreness/meniscus tear) and Johnny Furphy (right ACL repair).
Why it matters: Clearing Nesmith, who was also cleared to face Dallas on Friday, keeps a starting wing available while Indiana navigates three rotation absences. Without McConnell and Sheppard, the Pacers must lean heavily on their healthy backcourt options to handle second-unit ball-handling duties.
By the numbers: Indiana enters Sunday's contest with a 1-1 record in the 2026-27 regular season following a 121-105 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Oct. 23.
What to watch: Indiana tips off in Brooklyn on Sunday night aiming to move above .500 on the regular season.
