Chance to return Wednesday
Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis
Nesmith hasn't taken the court since Feb. 19 due to a right ankle sprain, but the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a sign he's trending in the right direction. He should have a chance to take the court Wednesday if he fares well in morning shootaround and warmups.

Remains out for Sunday
Nesmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Memphis.
Analysis
Nesmith will miss a fifth consecutive game while recovering from a right ankle sprain he suffered Feb. 19 against the Wizards. Head coach Rick Carlisle previously noted that the wing would likely be sidelined for at least one week, and while Nesmith is nearing the end of that timeline, he remains unavailable for the team's first game of March.
