Impact After two seasons of limited playing time in Boston, the 2020 first-round pick now finds himself with Indiana. While Nesmith is bound to see the court more with the rebuilding Pacers than he did with the contending Celtics, the 22-year-old still has plenty of competition for minutes. Nesmith is set to compete amongst the likes of Chris Duarte, Buddy Hield, Duane Washington and Bennedict Mathurin for playing time coming into next year.

Scores 11 points in limited action Nesmith accumulated 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two assists and one steal in eight minutes during Sunday's 144-102 victory over Washington.

Returning to bench role Nesmith will come off the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Heat, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact With Jayson Tatum rejoining the lineup after a one-game absence, Nesmith will shift back to a reserve role. The 22-year-old is averaging 3.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game this season.

Fills in with 13 points Nesmith posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals over 39 minutes during Monday's 115-112 overtime loss to the Raptors.

Impact Nesmith entered the starting five with Jayson Tatum (knee) sidelined, and he didn't come close to absorbing Tatum's usual production. Although the Celtics have depth in the backcourt, the squad is particularly vulnerable when elite players like Tatum and Jaylen Brown (knee) are out of the lineup.

Joins starting lineup Nesmith will start Monday's game against the Raptors, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The 22-year-old will make his third start of the season with Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (knee) both out on the second night of a back-to-back set. Nesmith has averaged 7.5 points and 3.3 rebounds over the seven games in which he's played at least 20 minutes this season, so he's a risky streaming option even with Boston short-handed.

Impact This will put an end to a seven-game streak of absences for Nesmith, who hasn't played since March 3. His role has been all over the place this season, and given the recent absence it's no guarantee that he'll find more than a few garbage-time minutes.

MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Monday Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Nesmith has missed the last seven games due to a sprained right ankle and it remains unclear if he'll be ready to return to the court Monday. If he's ultimately ruled out, his next opportunity to return will be Wednesday against the Jazz.

Won't play Sunday Nesmith (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets.

Impact While coach Ime Udoka said Nesmith is getting close to a return, the young wing will miss a seventh straight game as he continues to contend with a sprained right ankle. There's a decent chance he'll remain out Monday at Oklahoma City to finish out the back-to-back set.

Return date still far away Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Wednesday that Nesmith (ankle) will remain out for "a while," Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact According to Udoka, Nesmith is still experiencing significant swelling of his sprained right ankle and will need the inflammation to subside before he's able to resume on-court activity. Once that happens, a clearer timeline for the second-year wing's return date could come into focus. Nesmith has been a fringy member of Udoka's rotation throughout the season, averaging only 10.5 minutes over 45 appearances.

Impact Nesmith sprained his ankle during Thursday's contest against the Grizzlies, and based on Udoka's comments, he'll likely be facing a lengthy absence. While Brown will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest versus Brooklyn, Nesmith may be sidelined for the entirety of Boston's upcoming three-game week.
