Andrew Nembhard was born on January 16, 2000, in Aurora, Ontario, Canada. His basketball journey began during his high school years at Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida. Following high school, Nembhard enrolled at the University of Florida, playing for the Florida Gators men’s basketball team from 2018 to 2020. During his freshman season, he started every game and was named to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) All-Freshman team after averaging 8.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists. A notable achievement during this period was hitting a buzzer-beater to defeat Louisiana State University (LSU) in the 2019 SEC tournament. In his sophomore year, Nembhard improved his statistics, averaging 11.2 points, 5.6 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game, and led the SEC in assist-to-turnover ratio.
In 2020, Nembhard transferred to Gonzaga University, where he played for the Gonzaga Bulldogs men’s basketball team until 2022. In his first season with Gonzaga, he was named the West Coast Conference’s inaugural Sixth Man of the Year and earned a spot on the all-conference second team. He further developed his game, averaging 11.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game as a senior, earning First Team All-WCC honors. His collegiate performance led to his selection by the Indiana Pacers as the 31st overall pick in the second round of the 2022 NBA draft. On July 22, 2022, Nembhard signed a four-year, $8.6 million rookie contract with the Pacers, which was the largest ever given to a second-round pick.
Since joining the Indiana Pacers, Nembhard has made significant impacts. On November 28, 2022, he scored a buzzer-beating, game-winning three-pointer against the Los Angeles Lakers. Shortly thereafter, on December 5, he achieved a career-high 31 points, 13 assists, 8 rebounds, and 5 three-pointers in a game against the Golden State Warriors. His rookie season contributions were recognized with his selection as a 2023 NBA Rising Star. He continued to show strong performances, including back-to-back 20-point games in March 2023, and recording a double-double with a career-high 15 assists against the Milwaukee Bucks on March 28, 2023. In the 2024 NBA Playoffs, Nembhard hit a pivotal game-winning three-pointer against the New York Knicks on May 10, extending the Pacers’ series lead.
