Pacers guard Aaron Nesmith will play in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight, according to several media outlets, including Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype (Twitter link).
Nesmith sprained his right ankle during the second half of Game 3 against the Knicks on Sunday. He was listed as questionable on the injury report.
Nesmith has been a huge factor in the postseason. He’s averaging 15.1 points while shooting 52.3 percent overall and a whopping 53.5 percent from long range. He’s also averaging 6.2 rebounds per game.
In Game 1 of the series, Nesmith erupted for 30 points while making all but one of his nine 3-point attempts as Indiana staged an unlikely late rally and won in overtime.
He’s alao been the primary defender against the Knicks’ top offensive threat, Jalen Brunson.
