The Indiana Pacers face uncertainty regarding the health of forward Aaron Nesmith ahead of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. After spraining his right ankle during Game 3, coach Rick Carlisle reported that Nesmith woke up sore and will be considered a game-time decision. Having started all 13 postseason games thus far and averaging 15.1 points and 6.2 rebounds, Nesmith's potential absence could impact the Pacers' defensive strategy against the New York Knicks, particularly against guard Jalen Brunson, whom he has primarily defended.
Nesmith predictably woke up sore after spraining his right ankle, showing the physical toll of playoff basketball. His status for Game 4 remains uncertain.
Despite his injury, Nesmith returned to the court in Game 3, demonstrating resilience, having contributed significantly throughout the postseason with impressive stats.
