Pacers vs. Nuggets Injury Report – November 8

The 1-7 Indiana Pacers are preparing to face the 6-2 Denver Nuggets on Saturday night as they aim for their second win of the season. The matchup starts at 9 p.m. and marks the beginning of Indiana’s four-game road trip.

Coming off a 112-103 defeat to the Brooklyn Nets, the Pacers are looking to rebound against a Denver squad that has won three straight, including a 129-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.

Series History

Last season, Indiana and Denver split their two-game series 1-1. Before the Pacers’ 125-120 win on April 6, however, they had lost nine consecutive matchups to the Nuggets. On Saturday, Indiana hopes to build momentum with another victory against the Western Conference’s fourth seed.

Injury Updates

The only update to Indiana’s injury report involves guard Andrew Nembhard.

“Nembhard suffered a shoulder injury during the Pacers’ opening night loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and has yet to suit up since.”

The Canadian guard is now cleared to return to action against Denver, providing a boost for Indiana’s injury-depleted backcourt. Had he been unavailable, the Pacers would have turned to newly acquired guard Monte Morris, who is also listed as active against his former team.

Author Summary

Indiana, hindered by early injuries, looks to rebound in Denver with Andrew Nembhard’s return offering a hopeful lift for their struggling 1-7 squad.
