Pacers vs. Nuggets Injury Report – November 8

The Indiana Pacers, holding a 1-7 record, are set to face the 6-2 Denver Nuggets on Saturday night at 9 p.m. as they begin their four-game road trip. Indiana hopes to earn its second win of the season after falling 112-103 to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Denver, meanwhile, rides a three-game winning streak, including a dominant 129-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday.

Season History

Last season, the Pacers and Nuggets split their two matchups 1-1. Before Indiana’s 125-120 win on April 6, the team had dropped nine consecutive games to Denver. They now aim to defeat the current No. 4 seed in the Western Conference once again.

Injury Report and Player Updates

The only update on Indiana’s injury list concerns guard Andrew Nembhard. He sustained a shoulder injury during the season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder and has not played since. This weekend, however, Nembhard is expected to return to action.

“Nembhard’s return is fantastic news for the Pacers as they deal with numerous injuries in the backcourt.”

Had Nembhard remained sidelined, the team would have leaned on newly acquired guard Monte Morris, who is also available to play against his former squad.
