Pacers sit key players Siakam, Nembhard, and Nesmith against Hawks
Summary

The Indiana Pacers are resting All-Star forward Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith in their home game against the Atlanta Hawks on November 2. This decision follows a back-to-back game, further depleting a roster already missing several key players, including Tyrese Haliburton and Ivica Zubac, due to injuries. The Pacers currently face a challenging situation with only seven players available, three of whom are on two-way contracts. They enter this matchup after losing four consecutive games and struggling offensively with a recent score of 90 points in their loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
