The unfortunate announcement of Pacers's unfortunate announcement by Aaron Nesmith could have a great wavy effect

Aaron Nesmith suffered a hard ankle injury in the third quarter of game 3 against the New York Knicks and was officially ruled as questionable for the return. So far, Nesmith has been crucial for the Playoff run of the Indiana Pacers, especially in the conference final. The Vanderbilt -Auun missed 35 games earlier in the season due to an ankle injury. Fortunately for Nesmith and the Pacers, this injury to the other ankle, but it is still something that it is worth monitoring monitoring.

While the Pacers are trying to remove the kinks and to find the NBA final for the first time in over two decades, you have to bring your A-game the rest of the way. However, if Nesmith is missing for the Pacers at any time, it will leave a huge gap for you on both sides of the ball, and it will make it much more difficult for you to achieve your ultimate goal.

Aaron Nesmith has been the X-factor of the Pacer so far

It cannot be overvalued how important Nesmith was up to this point in time for the Pacers' success. In 12 games he scored an average of 15.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists and at the same time played a major role in the defensive end. In addition, he shot 54.1% from the field and 54.4% in the same period. Nesmith was also excellent in the breathtaking game of the Pacers against the Knicks due to heroic deeds in the late game.

Although he is not the best player in the team (and is probably not better than the team's best fifth best player), the 25-year-old is probably one of her most important ones. Since he was trading in the Boston Celtics for a trade in Boston Celtics in 2022, he improved considerably and has developed into a TOP 3-D player.

Depending on the severity of Nesmith's ankle injury, he will probably either miss time or play with less than 100%. In any case, this would not be good for Indiana, as she would have to rely more on Bennedict Mathurin, who had a very high and down-season run and has much to be desired in the conference final.
