  Coach Rick Carlisle said Nesmith (ankle) is still weeks away from returning to action, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. Nesmith has been sidelined since spraining his left ankle against the Pelicans on Nov. 1. He was initially expected to return at some point in December, but that's now up in the air. For what it's worth, Nesmith was able to do some running and shooting on his own at Tuesday's practice.

  Coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Nesmith (ankle) is still weeks away from returning to game action, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. Andrew Nembhard (knee) is returning to the Pacers' starting lineup Sunday, but they'll still be without Nesmith for the foreseeable future. Quenton Jackson will move to the bench to make room for Nembhard, while Bennedict Mathurin should continue to start until Nesmith is cleared to play again. Given Carlisle's vague return timeline, it seems unlikely Nesmith will be able to play until after the NBA Cup concludes.
