Mathurin (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

While there's no concrete timetable for Mathurin's return to game action, head coach Rick Carlisle said Oct. 28 that he can be considered week-to-week. Until the 23-year-old swingman returns, Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker will likely continue seeing increased minutes.

Mathurin (toe) won't play Wednesday against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said on Oct. 28 that Mathurin was week-to-week, and there's been very little information since. Mathurin is likely doubtful at best for Nov. 8 against the Nuggets.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that Mathurin (toe) is considered week-to-week, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

The bad news continues to pile up for Indiana. In addition to Mathurin being out, Obi Toppin (hamstring) is expected to miss at least a month. With Mathurin nursing a right hamstring issue, the Pacers could really rely on Ben Sheppard and Aaron Nesmith in the short term. RayJ Dennis is also coming off the best game of his career and is worth monitoring in deeper formats.

Mathurin (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin won't play in the second half of Indiana's back-to-back set after suffering a right great toe sprain during Saturday's loss in Memphis. Andrew Nembhard (shoulder), T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Johnny Furphy (foot) and Taelon Peter (groin) are all sidelined, not to mention Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) is out for the entire campaign. The Pacers' depth will be tested early on this season, with RayJ Dennis, Ben Sheppard, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker ready to step up.

Mathurin won't return to Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to right foot soreness, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin exited to the locker room in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly thereafter. He'll finish with 26 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes. With the 23-year-old sidelined, RayJ Dennis and Jarace Walker are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way. Mathurin's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Mathurin registered 36 points (9-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 15-17 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 45 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin and Pascal Siakam kept the Pacers afloat in the second half and into overtime after Andrew Nembhard exited with a shoulder injury. Mathurin found success by driving to the hoop, resulting in 17 attempts from the charity stripe. His club was ultimately unable to finish the job following Mathurin's departure, as he fouled out of the game with four minutes remaining in the second overtime period. Regardless, this was a promising first game of the 2025-26 season for the Arizona product, who averaged 16.1 points in 72 regular-season appearances a season ago.

Mathurin amassed 31 points (11-12 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes in Monday's 124-108 preseason loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin torched the nets and posted a game-high 31 points, 27 of which came in the first half. The 23-year-old swingman also led all players in three-pointers made. The Arizona product is expected to operate as one of the club's top offensive options with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) sidelined for the entire season. Mathurin started 49 of his 72 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, during which he averaged 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in 29.8 minutes per contest.

Mathurin had 16 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds and an assist across 16 minutes in Saturday's 116-101 preseason win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin played the second-fewest minutes among starters for Indiana in this game, and the coaching staff doesn't have to see what the forward brings to the table. Mathurin is expected to open the 2025-26 season as the starting shooting guard and should see a lot of usage as one of the team's primary offensive weapons.

Mathurin amassed 24 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin's production was all over the place in the postseason, though he certainly had his moments. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined by an Achilles tear, the Pacers may bank on Mathurin taking a leap in 2025-26 with so much usage up for grabs. During the 2024-25 regular season, Mathurin appeared in 72 games and produced 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers on 45.8 percent shooting from the field.

Mathurin supplied eight points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), two rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin couldn't repeat his heroics from Game 3, stringing together arguably the worst 60 seconds of his career as the Pacers squandered what could have been a series-defining lead. Mathurin committed two dead-ball fouls, while also going 1-of-4 from the line down the stretch. Aaron Nesmith fouled out in the dying stages and Rick Carlisle opted to go with Mathurin as opposed to T.J. McConnell who was seemingly having more of a positive impact on the game. With the series now level at 2-2, Indiana will look to wrestle back control when the two teams meet again Monday.
