The Pacers waived Mathews on Friday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Pacers in need of frontcourt depth due to injuries to Isaiah Jackson (concussion) and Tony Bradley (thumb), the team will cut Mathews in order to sign Micah Potter from the G League. Mathews made 15 regular-season appearances for the Pacers and produced 5.2 points and 1.1 three-pointers in 13.1 minutes per contest.

The Pacers will sign Mathews to a standard contract, Tony East of Forbes.com reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Following a pair of 10-day contracts, the Pacers will waive Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to create a roster spot for Mathews. Across nine appearances in Indiana, Mathews has averaged 4.8 points and 1.0 three-pointers in 13.7 minutes per contest.

Mathews isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The Pacers are going with Ethan Thompson in the starting backcourt alongside Andrew Nembhard. Mathews has averaged 4.7 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 13.0 minutes per night over seven games off the bench this season, minimizing what little fantasy appeal he may have had in the first unit.

Mathews is in the starting lineup for Friday's game in Chicago, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathews will get the spot start with Ben Sheppard (calf) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, Pascal Siakam and Jay Huff. Mathews is averaging 4.7 points on 40.0 percent shooting from the field for the Pacers this season.

The Pacers intend to sign Mathews to a 10-day contract, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's set to be a second 10-day deal for the swingman. Mathews averaged 9.2 minutes per game over five appearances this season, so he's served as depth on the wing and carries little fantasy relevance.

Mathews' 10-day hardship contract with the Pacers expired Sunday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathews signed the 10-day pact Nov. 20 and will now likely have to explore other opportunities, though Indiana could bring him back. The 29-year-old swingman appeared in four outings with Indiana during his short-term deal, averaging 2.3 points while shooting 15.4 percent from three-point range in 11.5 minutes per contest.

Mathews will sign a hardship exception with the Pacers on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pacers waived Monte Morris on Thursday, and in addition to bringing in Mathews, the franchise converted Jeremiah Robinson-Earl's deal into a standard contract. Mathews is a sharpshooter who has hit 38.2 percent from beyond the arc for his career, and he could immediately see minutes on the wings.

Mathews racked up nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 10 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 win over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Mathews made his presence felt in only 10 minutes off the bench in his team's preseason opener. He was incredibly efficient from beyond the arc, shooting 75 percent from deep.

The Knicks intend to sign Mathews to a training camp deal, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The contract will give Mathews the opportunity to compete for a roster spot during training camp this fall. Mathews averaged 7.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 17.7 minutes per game over 47 regular-season appearances for the Hawks in 2024-25.

Mathews logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-105 victory over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Mathews moved back into the rotation for the regular-season finale, taking advantage of the fact the Hawks were without a number of their starters. Mathews has suited up only three times in the past 21 games, a fact that will likely keep him out of the rotation during the Play-In Tournament and beyond.
