INDIANAPOLIS — Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (left calf soreness) and center Tony Bradley (left quad strain) are available for today’s game against the Wizards, coach Rick Carlisle said in his pre-game press conference.
Nembhard and Bradley were listed as questionable on the injury report released late afternoon on Saturday after both played in Friday’s game against the Wizards. Nembhard is averaging 17.9 points and 6.6 assists per game this season. Bradley is averaging 4.8 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Rookie guard Kam Jones was assigned to the Noblesville Boom of the G League for a 5 p.m. game Sunday in Noblesville against the Windy City Bulls. Jones missed all of training camp and hasn’t appeared in a game this season. He was listed as available for Friday’s game against the 76ers, but Carlisle said he was simply made available so he could get the experience of suiting up and going through pre-game warm-ups for the first time; there was not a possibility he would appear in the game. Carlisle said Jones will only play in the first half on Sunday.
Wings Ben Sheppard and Aaron Nesmith are ruled out for Sunday’s game. All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton is out for the year and forward Obi Toppin is out until February.
