INDIANAPOLIS — Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (left calf soreness) and center Tony Bradley (left quad strain) have been added to the injury report, listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.
Nembhard posted 18 points, seven assists and five rebounds in 35 minutes in the Pacers’ loss to the 76ers on Friday. Bradley played almost nine minutes in the game, giving the Pacers a third defensive option against Joel Embiid, who scored 39 points to lead Philadelphia. Nembhard, who missed time with a left shoulder strain earlier this season, is averaging 17.9 points and 6.6 assists per game. Bradley is averaging 4.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.

Rookie guard Kam Jones, who hasn’t appeared in a game yet this season, is listed as doubtful on the injury report with a G League assignment. Jones missed all of training camp and has missed the first 25 games due to a stress reaction in his lower back. He has been ramping up to a return and he was dressed and listed available for Friday night’s game in Philadelphia, but did not enter the game. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle had previously said that he thought Jones would need to play G League games with the Noblesville Boom before he could play in a game with the Pacers.
Wings Ben Sheppard (left calf strain) and Aaron Nesmith (left MCL sprain) are still listed as out. All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles tendon tear) is out for the year and forward Obi Toppin (right foot stress fracture) is out until at least February.
