Nelson (ankle) will likely be inactive for Friday's game against the Pacers, Marc D'Amico of Celtics.com reports.

Analysis:

Coach Brad Stevens said Friday that he intends to keep the same inactives that he had Wednesday, thus meaning that Nelson will likely stay off the court for his fourth-straight game. If that comes to fruition Nelson's next opportunity to play will come against the Raptors on Saturday.
