Pacers vs. Nuggets Injury Report – November 8
The Indiana Pacers (1-7) will face the Denver Nuggets (6-2) on Saturday night at 9 p.m. in the Pacers' opening game of a four-game road trip. Indiana aims to secure its second win this season after a 112-103 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, who were winless before that game. Meanwhile, the Nuggets have won three consecutive games, including a 129-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday.
Last season, the Pacers and Nuggets split their series 1-1, but before Indiana’s 125-120 win on April 6, the team had lost nine straight to Denver. This Saturday, Indiana will try to earn another victory against the current No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.
Injury Updates
The only change to Indiana’s injury list is an update on guard Andrew Nembhard. He had a shoulder injury from the Pacers’ opening night loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and has not played since. However, Nembhard is now available and expected to return against Denver.
"Nembhard's return is fantastic news for the Pacers as they deal with numerous injuries in the backcourt."
If Nembhard hadn’t been able to play, the Pacers would likely rely on Monte Morris, recently acquired and expected to be available against his former team.
Summary
Indiana tries to break a tough streak against Denver with key player Andrew Nembhard returning, aiming to strengthen their backcourt amid ongoing injury challenges.
