Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Wednesday that Nesmith (ankle) will remain out for "a while," Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

According to Udoka, Nesmith is still experiencing significant swelling of his sprained right ankle and will need the inflammation to subside before he's able to resume on-court activity. Once that happens, a clearer timeline for the second-year wing's return date could come into focus. Nesmith has been a fringy member of Udoka's rotation throughout the season, averaging only 10.5 minutes over 45 appearances.
