The Indiana Pacers are quickly being reminded that, no matter the situation, they know they can rely on Andrew Nembhard to step up.
Throughout his career with the team so far, Nembhard has made it a habit to rise to the occasion when Indiana needs him the most. The most obvious example of this is when Tyrese Haliburton missed Games 3 and 4 of the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics. In those games, the Canadian native averaged 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 9.5 assists while shooting 56.4% from the field and 53.8% from beyond the arc.
