Bennedict Mathurin's Pacers Role Is ... ? The Indiana Pacers roster is set for the 2024-25 season.
Progressing well after surgery Mathurin (shoulder) is way ahead of schedule on his post-surgery recovery according to coach Rick Carlisle, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Mathurin had a productive year in his sophomore season, which was cut short due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The 21-year-old put up 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 59 games while averaging 26.1 minutes. This progress bodes well for the Pacers and Mathurin, who is on track to make a full recovery prior to the start of the 2024-25 season.

Pacers Announce Injury News Regarding Bennedict Mathurin The second-year wing emerged as a key member of Indiana’s rotation.
MARCH 9 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Undergoing season-ending surgery Mathurin is slated to undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact This is a tough blow for both the Pacers and Mathurin, who was originally just looking at a few games on the sideline before this diagnosis. With Indiana trading Buddy Hield prior to the deadline, the second-year sharp shooter was expected to see a bigger role for the remainder of the season. Now, the team will rely on Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith on the wing, while Doug McDermott (calf), Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker will be reserve options. Mathurin is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 season.

Bennedict Mathurin to miss at least next three games for Indiana Pacers with shoulder injury Mathurin missed last night’s Pacers battle
MARCH 8 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Out next three games Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Thursday that Mathurin (shoulder) will miss the Pacers' next three games, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Impact Mathurin has already been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a right shoulder sprain. The 21-year-old forward is set to be evaluated after Indiana's upcoming road trip, with Wednesday's matchup with Chicago being his first chance to suit up. Ben Sheppard is expected to receive increased playing time in Mathurin's absence.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Thursday Mathurin has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right shoulder sprain.
Impact Mathurin played through a foot issue Tuesday and posted 19 points (7-16 FG) in 25 minutes during a win over Dallas. However, he's now dealing with a shoulder issue and will miss at least one game. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Orlando, while Ben Sheppard is a candidate for an increased bench role versus Minnesota, especially with Doug McDermott (calf) still out.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to play Mathurin (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Aaron Nesmith (quad) and Ben Sheppard (illness) are also available for Indiana. Mathurin has been cold over his last three appearances, hitting 34.3 percent of his shots from the field.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Added to injury report Mathurin is questionable for Tuesday's game against Dallas due to left foot soreness.
Impact Mathurin joins Aaron Nesmith (quad) and Ben Sheppard (illness) as questionable for Tuesday's game. Nesmith participated in shootaround, but Indiana is nonetheless at risk of being shorthanded on the wings against a formidable offense Tuesday.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Back to bench Mathurin will return to a reserve role for Friday's game against the Pelicans,
Impact Mathurin will come off the bench in favor of Aaron Nesmith, who is returning from a four-game absence. This move comes after Mathurin's huge performance in Monday's 130-122 loss to Toronto where he tallied 34 points (11-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes. The second-year wing still figures to see a considerable role off the bench.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Delivers huge performance Mathurin notched 34 points (11-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 130-122 loss to Toronto.
Impact Mathurin showcased alluring three-level scoring Monday, matching his season high in scoring en route to his fourth game of the year with 30-plus points. It has been rare for Mathurin to blend a hot shooting night with free-throw drawing prowess, but he remains a gifted athlete with supreme confidence who flashes the ability to do so.
FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Stuffs stat sheet in win Sunday Mathurin recorded 14 points (5-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 133-111 victory over the Mavericks.
Impact Mathurin has been arguably more productive off the bench than in a starting role throughout the better part of his first two years in the league, but he's been quite good over his last two starts, putting up solid numbers and filling out the stat sheet admirably. Mathurin should remain in a starting role when the Pacers take on the Raptors on Monday, and his fantasy upside should move in the right direction if he can continue to deliver these performances on both ends of the court going forward.
FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Positive contribution in spot start Mathurin registered 15 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 129-115 victory over the Pistons.
Impact Mathurin was inserted into the starting lineup Thursday with Aaron Nesmith sidelined with lower leg injury. Mathurin wasn't efficient with his shot, but was able to contribute in other ways and bounced back nicely from his zero-point performance against the Hornets on Feb. 12. He should reprise his bench role once Nesmith returns to action.
FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against Detroit Mathurin is in the starting lineup to face the Pistons on Thursday.
Impact Mathurin has seen most of his minutes off the bench this season, as he's far from productive when playing with the second unit, but he'll get the nod here since Aaron Nesmith (lower leg) is out. Mathurin is averaging 14.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Impact Team Jalen relied on a more balanced scoring effort to clinch the win in the finale, but Mathurin did more of the heavy lifting in a 40-35 win over Team Tamika in the semifinal earlier Friday, pouring in 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT) to go with two rebounds over 13 minutes. Mathurin had missed the Pacers' final game before the All-Star break Wednesday in Toronto due to a bruised right knee and an illness, but his ability to compete in two abbreviated exhibitions Friday as well as the hometown Team Pacers' win Saturday in the skills challenge implies that he'll be good to go when Indiana returns to action Feb. 22 versus the Pistons.
