Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard will miss the game against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 26, 2026, due to a neck and back issue. Coach Rick Carlisle confirmed that Nembhard is one of five players sidelined, leaving the team with only nine available players. Nembhard had been performing well, averaging 16.0 points and 5.7 assists in three games. The absence puts additional pressure on guard Quenton Jackson, with two-way player Braden Smith expected to be activated. Additionally, center Ivica Zubac is ruled out with a left ankle sprain, and guard T.J. McConnell continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
