Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard has been listed as questionable for Friday’s matchup against the Washington Wizards due to a right quadriceps contusion. The injury appeared recently, prompting his addition to the team’s official injury report.
Nembhard’s participation will likely depend on how he responds to treatment leading up to game time. The Pacers coaching staff will monitor his condition during pregame warmups before making a final decision.
Nembhard has been playing a key supporting role in Indiana’s rotation, contributing both as a playmaker and perimeter defender. His potential absence could affect the team’s guard depth and ball movement against Washington.
"The team remains hopeful he’ll be available, but will prioritize his recovery and long-term health," a team source noted.
The Pacers will face a Wizards team that has struggled defensively but remains capable of capitalizing on short-handed opponents. Indiana may rely more heavily on veteran guards if Nembhard is ruled out.
Author Summary: Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard is questionable for Friday’s game with a quad injury, leaving Indiana uncertain about its backcourt depth against the Wizards.
