Won't face Brooklyn
Nesmith (neck) is out for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Nesmith is one of several regulars who won't be playing Thursday, and the Pacers aren't expected to risk him with three games left in the regular season. With Nesmith out, look for Ethan Thompson, who's on a two-way contract, should have a bigger role in the Pacers' backcourt.

Not yet ready to return
Nesmith (neck) is out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Nesmith will mis his fifth straight game while battling a neck injury. He's once again been downgraded to out a full day ahead of Indiana's upcoming matchup, so he doesn't appear close to a return. Nesmith can be considered doubtful for Thursday's tilt in Brooklyn until further notice.
