Pacers' Nesmith Out With Knee Injury, Rookie Sheppard to Start
The Indiana Pacers will be without the services of starting small forward Aaron Nesmith when they take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. Nesmith sustained a bruised right knee after a collision with Lakers wing Cam Reddish in the second quarter of Sunday’s game, leaving him hobbled for the remainder of the contest.
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle expressed concern over Nesmith’s condition following the game but remained uncertain about the severity of the injury until further evaluation.
