Aaron Nesmith Cleared But Will Not Start Against Dallas Mavericks

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith has been cleared to play in Friday night's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks after overcoming a hamstring issue following pregame evaluations. Despite being cleared to return to action to provide a healthy active roster and build momentum following their season-opening victory, Nesmith is not in the starting lineup for the game against Dallas, according to Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com.
