Pacers' Nembhard Out Friday Due to Quadriceps; Hopes for Saturday Return

Andrew Nembhard (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards, the first part of Indiana's back-to-back. Head coach Rick Carlisle is hopeful that Nembhard will return for Saturday's game against the Bulls. In his absence, T.J. McConnell is the most likely candidate to replace him in the starting lineup, with Ben Sheppard also expected to see an uptick in minutes.
