By INDIANAPOLIS — Head coach Rick Carlisle did not have an update on forward Aaron Nesmith's apparent hand or wrist injury following the Pacers' 106-104 win over the New York Knicks on Friday night.
Nesmith slipped on the court while chasing a loose ball in the final seconds of the game, then stayed down on the sideline for a few moments after Knicks forward OG Anunoby recovered the ball and called for a timeout, stopping the clock at 2.8 seconds.
Nesmith eventually got up, holding his left arm to his chest and Kelly Oubre Jr. checked in for him. Nesmith briefly talked with a trainer, then jogged back to the locker room looking to be in considerable pain.
Aaron Nesmith got tripped up with 4secs left — and his right foot stepped on his left wrist. He immediately clutched it, then ran back toward the locker room.

Nesmith scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting Friday night after working through right knee soreness that forced him to leave Wednesday's game against the Wizards early. Nesmith was originally questionable for Friday but ended up starting the game and playing 32 minutes.
