Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Nesmith exited Game 3 against the New York Knicks with an ankle injury. 

Nesmith injured his ankle during a drive to the basket in the third quarter. 

Aaron Nesmith is walking gingerly on his ankle and heads to the locker room. The crowd cheers his name as he heads off the court, but this would be a devastating blow if serious.
