Indiana Pamen forward Aaron Nemith on Tuesday took a game-time decision against the Eastern Conference Final against New York Nix with a correct ankle injury for the final.
Nemith rolled his right ankle in Game 3 after driving in the basket and gave an outlet pass while protected by Nix’s Jalen Brunson. Passers’ head coach Rick Carlisle said on Monday that he hoped that Nemith would be listed as a “suspect” in the injury report.
Nemith scored a career-high 30 points in the victory of Pacers Game 1, but has a total of 20 points in the last two matches of the series, including eight in 2-off-8 shoots in 26 minutes of game 3.
Indiana has a 2–1 lead in the best series and will host Game 4 in Indianapolis.
In 13 matches of the 2024-25 playoffs, Nemith scored 15.1 with 6.2 rebounds as Indiana has increased 10-3. In 45 Games (starting at 37) during the regular session, he scored 12.0 with 4.0 rebounds.
