The Indiana Pacers marked their third win over the Milwaukee Bucks this season on Monday night with an impressive 122-113 victory at the Fiserv Forum. They will now look to make it four wins on Wednesday when they host the Bucks in Indiana.
The injury report for the upcoming clash has already been released, and Pacers fans will be glad to know that there aren’t any major surprises.
Bruce Brown, who has missed his team’s last five games, has a chance to return on Wednesday night. He is currently listed as questionable to play as he continues to deal with a bone bruise in his right knee.
It has been Andrew Nembhard who has been starting in the place of Brown, but he too could be in danger of sitting out against the Bucks. The 23-year-old guard is also listed as questionable to play with a mid-back sprain. Nembhard exited Monday’s win after just eight minutes of action due to a back injury, and he was unable to return.
The 6-foot-5 combo guard has done a commendable job in deputizing for the injured Brown, with Nembhard averaging 12.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 31.8 minutes of action.
T.J. McConnell had a tremendous outing against the Bucks on Monday, logging 16 points, four rebounds, and nine assists in 22 minutes off the bench. If both Brown and Nembhard are sidelined on Wednesday, it could be McConnell who soaks up the available minutes in the backcourt.
