Pacers vs. Nuggets Injury Report - November 8

The 1-7 Indiana Pacers will face the 6-2 Denver Nuggets on Saturday night as they aim to secure their second win of the season. The game kicks off at 9 p.m. and marks the start of the Pacers’ four-game road trip.

Indiana is coming off a 112-103 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, who had been winless before that game. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are enjoying a three-game winning streak, highlighted by a 129-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday.

Last season, Indiana and Denver split their matchups 1-1. Before the Pacers’ 125-120 win on April 6, they had endured a nine-game losing streak against the Nuggets. This Saturday, the Pacers will try to add another win against the current No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.

Injury Updates

The main update for Indiana is on guard Andrew Nembhard. He suffered a shoulder injury on opening night against the Oklahoma City Thunder and has not played since. However, Nembhard is now available to return for the game against Denver.

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

If Nembhard was unavailable, the Pacers might have relied heavily on newly acquired Monte Morris, who is reportedly set to play against his former team.

Summary

The Pacers face a tough challenge against the Nuggets but will benefit from Andrew Nembhard’s return as they seek to climb out of their early-season slump.
