Injury
Bennedict Mathurin has been actively participating in team workouts, as reported by Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, marking progress in his recovery from thumb and toe injuries. Carlisle remains uncertain about Mathurin’s return to gameplay but speculates he might participate during the ongoing five-game road trip. Until Mathurin returns without restrictions, Johnny Furphy is expected to maintain his position in the starting lineup.
