Nembhard (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Hornets.
McConnell lands on the initial injury report for Friday night due to an illness, and his absence would leave Indiana without a key reserve. If he cannot play, Rick Carlisle may try to stagger the minutes of starters Tyrese Haliburton and Andrew Nembhard a bit more to ensure one is always on the court. Nembhard may still be available in deep and standard leagues; he would be the only add worth making if so.
Nembhard has been dealing with a sore left knee for a few games, sitting out the Pacers' November 1 matchup with New Orleans. The probable tag suggests he will be available, taking on his usual role starting alongside Tyrese Haliburton. Nembhard's fantasy value will increase if T.J. McConnell (illness, questionable) cannot play.
Nembhard continues to play through left knee soreness, which sidelined him for Friday's loss to the Pelicans. He started and played 29 minutes in Monday's win over the Mavericks; fantasy managers should expect a similar workload for Nembhard on Wednesday.
Nembhard (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
