Paces receiving significant trade offers for Andrew Nembhard
Andrew Nembhard appears ripe for the picking, but don’t judge an NBA team’s books by its cover. The Indiana Pacers are in a money crunch for 2025-26, approaching unfamiliar territory: the luxury tax. Nembhard’s contract structure could provide an opportunity to avoid it. Other teams have noticed, dialing up Indiana and making significant offers for the third-year guard who has become an essential contributor. But talks haven’t gone anywhere, according to league sources in contact with Indiana. The Pacers love Nembhard, are confident about the current roster and could break financial tradition next season, paying the luxury tax for the first time in two decades.

More on this storyline
Scott Agness: Andrew Nembhard (back strain) and Bennedict Mathurin (illness) have been downgraded to OUT for tonight v Pistons. Wonder if Nembhard took too many hits/hard screens in that second Paris game. Likely leads to Nesmith’s return to the starting lineup, along with Sheppard. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / January 29, 2025
Dustin Dopirak: Doc Rivers asked about Andrew Nembhard: "I think he's their soul in a lot of ways." -via Twitter @DustinDopirak / December 31, 2024
Gary Washburn: #Celtics lose 123-114 to #Pacers, who outplayed them throughout the game. A 4:06 scoring skid midway 4Q was the difference. BOS was 6 for 27 from 3 in the second half and 1 for 12 in the 4Q. Brown 31, Tatum 22, Pritchard 21; Haliburton 31, Nembhard 17, Siakam 17. -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / December 29, 2024
