“He plays with the highest of IQs, he’s probably one of my favourite players in the NBA right now, he’s just very underrated,” says Murray, after teaming up with Nembhard for the first time. “He’s very good defensively, he’s very deceptive on both ends of the court. He plays the passing lanes and he’s physical for his size … And he can lead a unit better than people give him credit for. I’m excited to play alongside him.”

Andrew Nembhard helps teams win. It’s why it was a priority for @CanBball to add him for the Olympics, and for the Pacers to sign him to an extension first chance. For @Sportsnet my feature on the versatile guard who talks less but plays big: sportsnet.ca/olympics/longf… – 4:11 PM

Word from the @CanBball men’s scrimmage vs. Brazil in Lille Wednesday was that Jamal Murray played ‘into the teens’ in terms of minutes and looked great doing it. Canada plays Greece on Saturday at 330 EDT to start their Olympic tournament. – 8:58 AM

Andrew Nembhard’s extension puts the Pacers just about $30 million below the 2025-26 luxury-tax line with 10 players — not including Myles Turner (or T.J. McConnell).

Good work by the Pacers reaching agreement with Andrew Nembhard on a contract extension. He could have pushed the decision to next summer, but now he’ll be under contract through the 2027-28 season.
And his sole focus can truly be on Team Canada and winning an Olympic medal. – 9:56 AM

Andrew Nembhard becomes the 24th player (9th this offseason) to sign a veteran extension since the new CBA started last July.
A change in the 2023 CBA has allowed players to extend for a greater percentage and more money. – 9:17 AM

More on this storyline
Insiders have said that Murray has been energetic and engaged during training camp and collaborative in all respects regarding playing time and role. He said wearing a Canadian jersey for the first time since the 2015 Pan Am Games was a special moment. “It had been a minute,” Murray said in Las Vegas. “When I was first out there, I felt excited.” Still it remains to be seen exactly how the 2023 NBA champion with a career playoff scoring average of 24.2 points a game fits in on a Canadian team that was firing on all cylinders without him on their way to a World Cup bronze last summer. -via SportsNet / July 24, 2024
But eyebrows went up a little higher when Murray didn’t dress for Canada’s game against France and played just seven minutes against Puerto Rico. The word from team sources is that Murray’s brief absence and the slow ramp up to competition as he got acclimated to the nine-hour time difference he was negotiating has all of been baked into the team’s planning. Murray was restricted to eight minutes of playing time against Puerto Rico and used all of that in the first half, which is why he didn’t play after the intermission and will have a heavier load (likely something in the mid-teens) in Canada’s scrimmage against Brazil on Wednesday. -via SportsNet / July 24, 2024
ClutchPoints: Which Canadian is most likely to get a tech at the Olympics? 🤣 SGA: “Dillon Brooks.” Jamal Murray: “Dillon Brooks, he can’t wait to get a technical.” Andrew Nembhard: “He’s got a problem.” DB: “Me. I’ve gotten like 4 already in FIBA.” (via @cbcsports)pic.twitter.com/cV2MsCN55z -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / July 23, 2024
“I think I can play with a lot of different line-ups. I can guard one through three, one through four at times. I can play off the catch, I can bring it up the floor, initiate the offence and make plays for other guys. I think I can fit in,” he says, providing a tidy — and accurate — self-scouting report. “The game is so positionless, everyone has to pass, shoot, dribble, make plays off the catch, read off of advantages. I think that’s what I’m going to do, I’m just going to play my game and it’s going to be easy to fit in with those guys.” -via SportsNet / July 25, 2024
Matching up against the opposition’s best scorers, Dillon Brooks has had his fair share of experiences to judge who some of the best players in the league are. As Canada prepares for group play in the 2024 Olympics, Brooks broke down the three toughest opponents to defend. The 28-year-old listed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as one of his answers. The other two players were Luka Doncic and Andrew Nembhard. -via OKC Thunder Wire / July 25, 2024
The team boasts a carousel of long-limbed athletes of all shapes and sizes: power-based wing stoppers in RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks, Lu Dort, and Ejim; more rangy and nimble point-of-attack defenders in SGA, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Andrew Nembhard. Frontcourt size and depth are the team’s most apparent deficits; the team has no natural rim protector, and its bigs are among the oldest players on the roster. “We can be dominant at a bunch of positions, but everybody’s going to have to be involved in the rebounding,” Triano, who has coached alongside Fernández on the Kings bench over the past two seasons, said. “We’re going to have to play faster than most teams. A lot of teams have a lot more size. So let’s spread ’em out, and let’s speed ’em up and down the court and be the quicker and more aggressive team. I really trust Jordi with coming up with ideas and schemes with the roster the way that it is.” -via The Ringer / July 25, 2024
