Pacers’ Andrew Nembhard connects with Jay Huff for epic lob vs. Hawks

Andrew Nembhard enjoyed a solid connection with Jay Huff during the Indiana Pacers’ matchup against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.

Nembhard is halfway through the fourth season of his career, going up the ranks to become one of the Pacers’ most important players. He is having his most involvement in the team’s offense to date, especially with his star teammate Tyrese Haliburton out for the entire season to rehab his torn Achilles.

In the meantime, Nembhard is showing the league what he can do with a higher volume of usage. That much was the case during Indiana’s contest against Atlanta as he pulled off this highlight midway through the second quarter. He drove to the basket as he lobbed up a pass to Huff, who caught the ball to throw down the two-handed dunk.
