The Pacers may have a new face in the rotation in Vegas on Tuesday night.
The Summer Pacers play their third game in Vegas on Tuesday night when they face the Summer Pistons.
The Pacers are now 1-1 in Summer League action and will likely add a new face to the mix against the Pistons. Aaron Nesmith has been with the team the past couple of days and was cleared to actually play after Malcolm Brogdon passed a physical to complete the trade with Boston.
With Chris Duarte no longer expected to play, after a solid showing in the first game, Nesmith can slide right into the open minutes as yet another, 6’5-ish guard/forward next to Bennedict Mathurin.
As for the Pistons, they have been playing without rookie, and local legend, Jaden Ivey due to a sprained ankle. Fellow rookie Jalen Duren should present some quality matchup challenges for Isaiah Jackson and the other Pacers front court players.
(Required Disclaimer: It’s summer league.)
