Andrew Nembhard

It doesn’t get much better than a game-winning buzzer beater in your first NBA season, but such is reality for Indiana Pacers rookie Andrew Nembhard. Nembhard gets the opportunity thanks to a Tyrese Haliburton offensive board in the closing seconds, and when Haliburton can’t find his own shot after some dribble maneuvers, he spots Nembhard on the wing. The moment wasn’t too big for the 31st overall pick, as he did not shy away from unleashing a dagger over the outstretched fingertips of LeBron James. Nembhard connected on 4 of his 7 three-point attempts for 12 points, four rebounds and two blocks, helping his team rally from a 17-point fourth quarter deficit in the 116-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on November 28, 2022.
