Mathurin is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Toronto due to a bruised right knee.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin likely suffered the injury at some point in Monday's 111-102 loss to Charlotte, and the bruised knee may explain in part why he was held to 15 minutes; he had played at least 20 minutes in all but one of his previous 17 outings. Though Mathurin looks as though he'll travel with the Pacers to Toronto, a decision on his status for the game may not be made until after the medical team has a chance to assess him during shootaround Wednesday morning.

Mathurin finished Monday's 111-102 loss to the Hornets with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin found no rhythm and was scarcely incorporated into the offense Monday. Across three games since the exodus of Buddy Hield to Philadelphia, Mathurin has combined for 15 points on 4-for-21 shooting. Mathurin can boom on any given night, but he may be the odd man out in Indiana.

Mathurin (illness) will be available to play Thursday against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin will return from a one-game absence, which will likely result in fewer minutes for Ben Sheppard. Mathurin may have gotten a little boost at the trade deadline with the departure of Buddy Hield, so it'll be interesting to see if he's more aggressive in the second unit moving forward.

Mathurin (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin is in danger of missing his second straight game Thursday due to a stomach ailment. If Mathurin is ultimately ruled out, Andrew Nembhard, Buddy Hield and Ben Sheppard should continue to receive increased playing time.

Mathurin (illness) will not play Tuesday versus Houston, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin will be sidelined due to a stomach ailment. Mathurin has come off the bench for seven of his past eight appearances, but his void will likely be filled by extra usage for Andrew Nembhard, Buddy Hield and Ben Sheppard.

Mathurin is questionable for Tuesday's game against Houston due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin's addition to the injury report within three hours of Indiana's 7 p.m. ET game versus the Rockets makes his status extremely murky. He is joined by Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) and Jalen Smith (back) as questionable on the Pacers' injury report.

Mathurin isn't starting Sunday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin has been cleared to suit up for a second consecutive game Sunday, but he'll retreat to the bench after joining the starting lineup for Friday's loss to Sacramento. Over 33 bench appearances this year, he's averaged 14.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.4 minutes per game.

Mathurin (toe) will play Sunday versus Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin will suit up for a second consecutive game following a two-game absence due to a toe sprain. He logged a full 37-minute workload in Friday's loss to Sacramento, putting him on track for no restrictions Sunday. Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring/back) is a game-time decision, which is a swing factor for the upside of Indiana's offense holistically.

Mathurin is questionable to face the Hornets on Sunday due to a right toe sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin has been battling a toe issue since the end of January, missing two games as a result. However, he was able to play 37 minutes Friday against the Kings and erupted for 31 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals.

Mathurin had 31 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 133-122 loss to Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin moved back into the starting lineup, leading all scorers with 31 points in 37 minutes. The Pacers made several changes to their opening unit, with Mathurin joined by T.J. McConnell and Isaiah Jackson. It is unclear whether Mathurin will stick as a starter moving forward, but given his ability to be a high-volume scorer, he is worth grabbing if he was dropped in your league.
