Mathurin produced 18 points (7-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin continued to fire away from the floor, reaffirming the confidence the coaching staff have clearly afforded him. Come the regular season, he is likely to take a bit of a step back, once the team is at full strength. With that being said, he is obviously a big part of their long-term future and although he will be coming off the bench, he makes for a viable option toward the back end of standard drafts.

Mathurin scored 27 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3 Pt, 11-12 FT) with four rebounds, one assist and a steal across 30 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin hit all four of his shots in the first quarter, the last two of which came off assists from Andrew Nembhard. The Pacers guard was quiet after that until the fourth quarter when he added another nine points on 3-of-5 shooting. However, he also fouled out of the game (albeit with 24 seconds left), with five of his fouls coming in the fourth.

Mathurin recorded 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and a steal across 18 minutes off the bench in Friday's 131-114 loss against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin wasted no time getting shots up Friday. The sixth overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Mathurin is ticketed to start the season on the bench. If Buddy Hield gets traded, as has been rumored, Mathurin could join the starters.

Mathurin (toe) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's preseason game against Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin appeared in three Summer League games before a toe injury forced him to the sidelines for the remainder of the contests. While the rookie won't start Wednesday's preseason opener, he should still see plenty of opportunities as a reserve after averaging 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game during Summer League.

Mathurin will not appear in the remaining Summer League contests due to a sore left big toe.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin made his mark on the three Summer League contests he appeared in, racking up 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The rookie will rest his toe to ensure it doesn't turn into anything worse and will likely be ready to go when training camp kicks off.
