The year from hell continues to get worse for the Indiana Pacers and their fans. During Thursday night’s third quarter against the Phoenix Suns, Aaron Nesmith stepped on the foot of a teammate which caused his other foot to slide as he was on defense. His left knee got caught up and he fell to the ground awkwardly.
In clear agony, he slammed his fist on the court in frustration. He was quickly ruled out for the game with the injury deemed left knee soreness. An MRI is likely on the way for the Pacers starter as they travel back to Indianapolis after this game. Nesmith exited the floor with help from teammates as Tyrese Haliburton followed him to the locker room.
The Pacers were just starting to get healthy with Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell both back in action during this road trip though they were still missing seven players in this current game. If this ends up being a major injury like Nesmith seemed to fear it was when he initially went down, he joins both Tyrese Haliburton and Obi Toppin with injuries that will keep them out for significant amounts of time.
