Nesmith (hamstring) will not play in Friday's preseason finale against Milwaukee, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Analysis:Nesmith revealed Thursday that a hamstring injury kept him out of Tuesday's exhibition against Oklahoma City, though he described himself as feeling "pretty good", and he was able to return to practice Thursday, per Zion Brown of the Indianapolis Star. The 27-year-old forward will finish the preseason on the sidelines, and his availability for Indiana's regular-season opener remains uncertain. Kelly Oubre and Ben Sheppard could see additional opportunities on the wing if Nesmith's absence extends into the regular season.
