Andrew Nembhard delivered a standout performance in the Indiana Pacers’ recent victory against the New York Knicks. He scored 24 points and recorded 10 assists, showcasing his ability to fill the playmaking gap left by Tyrese Haliburton, who is sidelined due to an Achilles injury.

Key Performance Highlights

Nembhard’s impressive statistics from the game include:

  • Points: 24
  • Assists: 10
  • Field Goals: 9-of-16
  • Free Throws: 2-of-2
  • Rebounds: 4

This double-double performance marked Nembhard’s eighth of the ongoing 2025-26 season. Notably, he had only achieved two double-doubles throughout the entirety of the previous season, 2024-25.

Impact on Team Rotation

The Pacers have been managing Nembhard’s playing time carefully. He has been rested for one game during each of their last two back-to-back matchups. As the team prepares for another back-to-back encounter against the Brooklyn Nets, his availability remains uncertain.

Nembhard’s ability to step up in crucial moments is vital for the Pacers as they navigate through injuries and strive for success this season.
