Pacers vs. Nuggets Injury Report – November 8
The 1-7 Indiana Pacers will face the 6-2 Denver Nuggets on Saturday night at 9 p.m., aiming for their second win of the season. The Pacers are starting a four-game road trip following a 112-103 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, who had not won before that game. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are on a three-game winning streak, including a recent 129-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
Last season, Indiana and Denver split their matchups 1-1. Before the Pacers’ 125-120 win on April 6, they had lost nine consecutive games to the Nuggets. This Saturday, the Pacers hope to claim another victory against the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.
Injury Update
The only adjustment to Indiana's injury list is the status of guard Andrew Nembhard. He suffered a shoulder injury in the season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder and has not played since. However, Nembhard is expected 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 had been unavailable, the Pacers would have likely leaned on recently acquired Monte Morris, who is reportedly active for the game against his former team.
Summary
The Indiana Pacers, struggling at 1-7, look to build momentum with Andrew Nembhard returning from injury as they challenge the strong Denver Nuggets on the road.
