Mathurin’s lasting injury is another big blow for the Pacers, as he was the team’s leading scorer before getting sidelined. For as long as he’s out, Pascal Siakam will shoulder a heavy load on offense, while Ben Sheppard and RayJ Dennis should see additional playing time.

Injured during Saturday’s loss to the Pacers, Mathurin is wearing a walking boot on his right foot. Once the imaging is done, the Pacers will better understand what steps to take in his recovery. Injuries on the perimeter have decimated Indiana, so they’ll have to rely heavily on Ben Sheppard, RayJ Dennis and forward Pascal Siakam to handle more playmaking responsibilities.

Mathurin, injured during Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies, has been diagnosed with a left great toe sprain. How much time he’ll miss is unknown, but at a minimum, the Pacers’ guard will not play on Sunday. Look for Ben Sheppard and RayJ Dennis to figure prominently in the rotation due to Indiana’s many injuries on the perimeter. Sheppard isn’t the best streaming option, but he’s worth the risk on Sunday out of necessity.

Mathurin is the latest in a growing list of injured players for Indiana, which has depleted their guard room. Ben Sheppard, Aaron Nesmith and RayJ Dennis are the only healthy guards remaining for the Pacers.

Mathurin was expected to take a ton of shots this season with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out, and in his season debut, he was able to light up the box score before fouling out. He fell two points shy of matching his career-high. Mathurin should have no issues breaking his previous career-high of 16.7 points per game, which should contribute to the best season of his career. There’s a reason he had a Yahoo! ADP of 92.3, and it’s paying off early.

Mathurin logged his most productive outing of the preseason thus far, eclipsing the 30-point mark on efficient shooting against the Spurs. The fourth-year guard did most of his damage in the first half, where he scored 27 points on 9-of-9 shooting, including four three-pointers. Mathurin, a part-time starter last season, should have an opportunity to see more production and opportunities in Tyrese Haliburton’s absence (leg). He’s likely to begin the season in the starting unit.

Mathurin - who’s in line to start next season - shot 4-of-9 from the field and converted 7-of-9 shots from the charity stripe. He should be a focal point of Indiana’s offense in 2025-26, making him a great target in points leagues.

This isn’t a surprising update, but the confidence from Carlisle to announce this nearly three months before the start of the regular season is a good thing to see. Mathurin averaged 16.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 49 starts last season, and with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) expected to miss all of next season, Mathurin will certainly be one of the leading scorers for Indiana, which bodes well for his fantasy upside.

Mathurin led Indiana in scoring and led all players in rebounds, though his minus-14 in the box score represented the lowest plus-minus of the game. Mathurin’s playoff run was a rollercoaster of ups and downs in minutes and scoring. His highs were high, and his lows were low, and Mathurin scored at least 20 points in four of the final 10 games of the postseason. The third-year man out of Arizona averaged career highs in points (16.1), rebounds (5.3), field goal percentage (45.8) and free throw percentage (83.1) in 2024-25, and he’ll look to improve on those numbers in his fourth season.

The Pacers’ bench outscored the Thunder’s 30-11 in the first half of Game 3, which Indiana led by four at halftime, and Mathurin was a big part of that. The 22-year-old small forward’s 27 points were the third most off the bench in NBA Finals history. Mathurin joined Jason Terry and Manu Ginobili as the only bench players to have at least 25 points in an NBA Finals game in the last 25 years. Even more impressive was that Mathurin played only 22 minutes and took just 12 shots. His +16 in his time on the court was a game-high. It was an exceptional effort from the Pacers’ No. 6 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Mathurin led the Pacers in scoring as Indiana lost Game 5 by 17 points to the Knicks. The 22-year-old played 25 minutes off the bench, by far the most he’s played in these playoffs. Mathurin has scored 43 points in 37 minutes over the last two games. He figures to be involved once again as the Pacers will look to close out the series at home in Game 6 on Saturday.

Mathurin has only played sparingly in these playoffs but gave the Pacers a shot in the arm with his play off the bench in Game 4 on Tuesday. The 22-year-old small forward had 20 points in just 12 minutes off the bench. Mathurin excelled at getting to the free throw line as he made 11-of-12 free throws. Ben Sheppard has cut into Mathurin’s minutes in these playoffs and that will likely continue. While Mathurin was more effective in Game 4, Sheppard has also been a key role player for the Pacers during this playoff run.

Mathurin has been getting into it with De’Andre Hunter all series, and more of the same resulted in an early departure for Mathurin, who scored 23 points in Game 3. Mathurin gave Hunter a shot to the chest, and Hunter retaliated by pushing Mathurin on the ground. Myles Turner gave Hunter a shoulder to defend Mathurin, and both Hunter and Turner were assessed technicals. However, Mathurin, who stood over Hunter after he dislocated his thumb in Game 1, was assessed a Flagrant 2. Ben Sheppard will likely take on extra minutes after Mathurin’s night lasted only one minute.

On Friday, Mathurin was Indiana’s most effective scorer, shooting over 50 percent from the field and reaching double figures for the third straight game. The negative for those viewing his performance through a fantasy lens is that Mathurin did not provide much beyond points, three-pointers and percentages. That was an issue for him in previous seasons, but Mathurin was slightly better during this past regular season. His production will be key in this series regardless of the fantasy implications. Game 4 is on Sunday, with the Pacers holding a 2-1 lead.

Mathurin is available after sitting out Indiana’s Game 4 victory in Milwaukee. His return will likely result in fewer minutes for fellow reserve Ben Sheppard. Sheppard, who re-entered the Pacers’ rotation in Game 3 after Andrew Nembhard landed in early foul trouble, played 22 minutes in Game 4.

Mathurin missed Game 4, which allowed Ben Sheppard to play 22 minutes off the bench in a blowout win. If Mathurin is sidelined again, Sheppard should once again play a significant role as the Pacers look to close out the series at home.

Mathurin has not missed a game in this series, most recently playing 14 minutes in Friday’s defeat. However, he’s dealing with an abdominal contusion and is not a lock to play in Game 4. If Mathurin is unable to play, look for Ben Sheppard to play more minutes after re-entering the rotation on Friday.

Absent from the Pacers’ initial injury report, Mathurin will sit out Sunday’s regular-season finale due to a left calf injury. While Aaron Nesmith is still available, fantasy managers in active leagues should anticipate seeing a lot of Johnny Furphy in a game that will not impact playoff seeding.

The Pacers sat all five of their starters for Friday’s game, as the chances of passing the Knicks for the three-seed in the East were slim. Mathurin was one of the replacements, and while the points, rebounds and steals were good, he was inefficient. He shot poorly from the field and racked up five turnovers, the most in a game for Mathurin since January 18. With Indiana knowing its seed and first-round opponent (Milwaukee), Sunday’s game against Cleveland will be another opportunity to rest the starters.

Mathurin has missed the last three games as he continues to manage a calf injury. The 22-year-old small forward will return Friday against the Jazz and resume his usual bench role, which will cut into Ben Sheppard’s minutes.

Mathurin has missed Indiana’s last three games but may be back to take on Utah. Ben Sheppard has taken on extra minutes with Mathurin sidelined, but his skillset doesn’t translate well to fantasy basketball. If Mathurin is out again, Sheppard doesn’t need to be added off the waiver wire.

Mathurin will miss a third straight game with a sore left calf. The good news is that Pacers coach Rick Carlisle does not expect the wing to be out much longer, potentially returning as soon as Friday against the Jazz. Mathurin’s absence frees up additional minutes for Ben Sheppard, but he does not need to be streamed in most leagues.

Mathurin sat out Saturday, and he’ll miss a second-straight game when the Pacers face the Kings on Monday. His absence should mean more playing time for Obi Toppin and Ben Sheppard, who each logged 22 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Thunder.

Mathurin is averaging 16.1 points and 5.4 boards across 30.1 minutes per game this season, so his absence is meaningful. His minutes will likely be picked up by committee, with Obi Toppin and Ben Sheppard the most likely candidates to see increased run.

On a night when seven Pacers reached double figures, Mathurin scored a team-high 23 off the bench. After scoring 24 points on 8-of-17 shooting in the two games prior, the Pacers’ reserve was more aggressive in getting to his spots Wednesday night. That’s the version of Mathurin the Pacers will need moving forward, which would also benefit fantasy managers. Indiana visits Washington on Thursday before closing their Week 21 in Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Mathurin was initially questionable for Monday’s game after suffering a sprained left ankle during Saturday’s win over the Nets. He’ll continue to serve as Aaron Nesmith’s backup, which limits the third-year wing’s fantasy ceiling.

Mathurin, who sprained his left ankle, logged 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Nets. If he’s unable to play on Monday, more minutes will be available to Ben Sheppard, who only logged nine on Saturday. There would not be much to gain from streaming Sheppard in that spot, as starter Aaron Nesmith will be available.
