Mathurin (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin is dealing with a left wrist sprain that has sidelined him for the last three games. A decision on his status will probably be made closer to Thursday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If he can't go, expect Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard to see more minutes to compensate for the loss of Mathurin, particularly on the offensive end of the court.

Mathurin is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Houston due to a sprained left wrist.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Rick Carlisle said before Sunday's win over Chicago that Mathurin is day-to-day with the injury, but the third-year swingman is unlikely to conclude a two-game absence against the Rockets. Mathurin's eventual return would likely translate to fewer minutes for Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard, but they should each hang onto larger roles for at least one more outing.

Head coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Mathurin (wrist) can be considered day-to-day moving forward, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin will miss his second straight game Sunday against the Bulls due to what the Pacers are labeling as a sprained left wrist, though Carlisle acknowledged that the third-year wing is also tending to various ailments. The wrist nor any other of Mathurin's health concerns are considered overly significant, however, and Carlisle isn't ruling Mathurin out from making a potential return for Tuesday's game against the Rockets. The third-year pro has come off the bench in each of his last six appearances, during which he has averaged 14.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 25.3 minutes per contest.

Mathurin (wrist) will miss "a couple of games at least," head coach Rick Carlisle told Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin is dealing with a wrist injury and is also banged up with multiple issues, so the Pacers will give him enough time to recover. It's uncertain when he'll return to the court, though based on Carlisle's words, Mathurin should be out for at least the Pacers' next two or three games.

Mathurin has been ruled out for Friday's game against Miami due to a left wrist sprain, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin was a late addition to the injury report due to the wrist injury, and his next chance to play will come Sunday against Chicago. Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard are candidates for an uptick in playing time with Mathurin sidelined.

Mathurin logged 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Thursday's 127-113 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin once again provided a lift for Indiana off the bench Thursday, leading all second-unit players in scoring to go along with a team-high-tying steals mark over a bench-leading minutes total. Mathurin has recorded a pair of steals in 10 contests this year while tallying 15 or more points in five straight outings.

Mathurin notched 28 points (11-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 134-130 overtime win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin shined off the Pacers bench in Wednesday's high-scoring overtime battle, finding success offensively while finishing second on the team in scoring and two points short of the 30-point mark. Mathurin has been a key offensive contribute for Indiana as of late, posting his sixth outing of the season with 25 or more points and his second such performance coming off the bench.

Mathurin will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aaron Nesmith will supplant Mathurin in the starting five Tuesday. The 22-year-old hasn't joined the second unit since Oct. 30, and over his last 10 outings, he has averaged 15.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers across 26.4 minutes per game. Mathurin has shot 51.8 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from three-point range in that 10-game span.

Mathurin racked up 25 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 119-112 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Early on, it looked like Mathurin might end up being the goat in an Indiana loss -- he accidentally hit Myles Turner (concussion) in the face while going for a rebound just six minutes into the game, and the center never returned to the court. In part because of that turmoil, the Pacers found themselves staring at a 42-22 deficit after the first frame, but Mathurin stepped up in a big way and helped fuel a big comeback. It was the third-year guard's best scoring effort since he hung 25 on the Bucks on New Year's Eve and just the second time he's produced 20 or more points in his last seven appearances, a stretch in which he's failed to play 30 minutes in any contest. The slight workload decline has led to Mathurin averaging 15.4 points, 4.1 boards, 1.1 assists and 1.1 threes in 25.0 minutes despite shooting 54.8 percent from the floor.
