The Nembhard brothers are officially the NBA's newest fraternity.
Andrew Nembhard has been in the league for a few years now, growing into a key role with the Indiana Pacers.
Ryan Nembhard has just arrived on the scene. His NBA debut is Wednesday night for the Dallas Mavericks.
Both are gritty guards who do the little things well, defend hard, create for their teammates and can be sneaky scorers when called upon.
They also both called Gonzaga a part of their basketball journey.

Andrew began his college career at Florida, then played his final two seasons at Gonzaga. He was drafted No. 31 overall in the 2022 NBA Draft.
Ryan began his college career at Creighton before also spending his final two campaigns at Gonzaga. He just went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft class.
Most notable for Ryan is definitely his passing. He led the entire country in assists in the 2024-25 college basketball season.
Andrew is more of an all-around star, and more of a 2-guard than a point guard.

Last postseason, Andrew showed how important he is as a glue guy as the Pacers made it all the way to Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
These brothers will get a chance to play very soon.
The Pacers go to Dallas to play the Mavs on Oct. 29.
They meet back in Indy on March 19.
