Questionable for Thursday Mathurin (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game in New York.
Impact Mathurin sat out Tuesday's game, which resulted in most of his minutes shifting to Andrew Nembard. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Thursday, and managers can expect to get another update following shootaround.

Unavailable Tuesday Mathurin (toe) will not play Tuesday versus Boston, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Impact Mathurin's streak of perfect attendance will be snapped at 47 games. His next opportunity to take the court comes Thursday versus the Knicks. Buddy Hield has struggled of late, but he, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard will each have an uptick in offensive volume available for the taking.

Questionable Tuesday Mathurin (toe) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Mathurin appears to have sustained a toe injury since his 24-point performance against the Grizzlies on Sunday, which led to his recent addition to the injury report. He has yet to miss a game this season, but if he were unable to go, the Pacers would probably look to Andrew Nembhard and Obi Toppin to see extended minutes.

Top scorer off bench in win Mathurin provided 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 win over the Grizzlies.
Impact Mathurin provided a much-needed spark off the bench, leading all Pacers in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying trio of three and finishing three boards short of a double-double. Mathurin has scored 24 or more points in six games this season, hauling in seven or more rebounds in four of those outings.

Good to go Mathurin (ankle) will play in Friday's game against Portland, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Mathurin will play through his second straight questionable tag Friday after tweaking his right ankle Monday versus the Jazz. Aaron Nesmith (shins) is returning to action Friday and Pascal Siakam is making his debut, so there will likely be less touches and minutes available for Mathurin.

Iffy for Friday Mathurin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Portland.
Impact Mathurin tweaked his right ankle against the Jazz on Monday and was considered questionable for Thursday's matchup versus Sacramento. However, he suited up for that contest and played 37 minutes, posting 25 points, four assists, two blocks and a steal during a five-point win. The Pacers may give him the second night of a back-to-back off after a heavy workload, but there was no reported setback, suggesting the ankle issue is minor.

Nets 25 points despite ankle injury Mathurin accumulated 25 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 126-121 victory over the King...
Impact Mathurin tweaked his ankle against Utah on Monday and was initially deemed questionable to suit up Thursday, but he was ultimately able to play. His presence was a big boost for a shorthanded Pacers squad, as Tyrese Haliburton sat out with a hamstring injury while Pascal Siakam isn't yet ready to debut for the club following Wednesday's trade. Mathurin took advantage of those absences in his second straight start, leading Indiana with 25 points and swatting multiple shots for the first time this season. He won't be the team's focal point on offense most games, but the second-year pro has certainly shown the ability to be a major offensive contributor this season, as he's scored 20-plus points on nine occasions and is averaging 14.8 points overall through 41 contests.

Questionable against Sacramento Mathurin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Kings.

Practices Wednesday Mathurin (ankle) practiced Wednesday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact It's good to see Mathurin back on the court after he left Monday's matchup against Utah early due to a sprained left ankle. However, his status for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers remains to be determined. Mathurin has scored in double figures in 12 straight games, averaging 17.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.8 minutes per game during that stretch.

Tweaks ankle Monday Mathurin will not return to Monday's game against Utah due to a left ankle sprain, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact Mathurin appeared to tweak his ankle by stepping on a teammate's foot while playing defense in the third quarter, and he then came up hobbled while attacking the basket on an ensuing Indiana possession. He remained in the game to take free throws, but promptly headed to the locker room and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest shortly after. Mathurin finishes Monday's abridged night with 11 points, while Jordan Nwora and Ben Sheppard will likely see increased run in his stead.

Draws spot start Mathurin is starting Monday night against the Jazz, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact Mathurin will enter the starting lineup for Aaron Nesmith, who was ruled out with a leg injury. Mathurin's last start dates back to Nov. 19 against the Magic, when he finished with 14 points, six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes.

Efficient performance Friday Mathurin finished with 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound and three assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 126-108 win over the Hawks.
Impact Mathurin continues to thrive on a bench role and delivered an efficient performance Friday, putting up double digits for the 10th game in a row while also missing just three shots from the field. During that 10-game stretch, Mathurin is averaging 18.1 points per game while shooting 54.5 percent from the field. He doesn't do much outside of scoring, but that's enough to make him relevant in fantasy, especially considering his bench role.

Leads in scoring off bench in win Mathurin tallied 26 points (8-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes in Monday's 133-131 win over Boston.

Scores 20 points off bench Mathurin logged 20 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-101 loss to Boston.
Impact Mathurin was one of Indiana's best offensive players despite coming off the bench, and he made the most of his minutes by putting up his seventh 20-point game of the season. The fact that three of those outings have come over Indiana's last five games suggests Mathurin is perhaps going to his most productive stretch of the campaign, though to be fair, he doesn't add much to the table on a consistent basis outside of his scoring figures.
