Michael Scotto reports that Indiana Pacers swingman Aaron Nesmith is recovering better than anticipated and will participate in Game 4 tonight, according to coach Rick Carlisle. This is a significant advantage for the Pacers, as Nesmith has been crucial in defending Knicks All-Star guard Jalen Brunson. Despite a recent ankle sprain that caused concern, Carlisle noted that Nesmith’s movement looked promising after his ankle was re-taped, and his status will be confirmed closer to game time.
