Johnny Furphy - Not participating in 5-on-5 Friday Furphy (ankle) will not participate in the Pacers' 5-on-5 scrimmage Sunday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. Impact Furphy has been dealing with an ankle injury which has kept him limited during training camp. The 19-year-old participated fully in Friday's practice, so the club is likely just taking it slow with the rookie until the regular season begins. Furphy is expected to compete for playing time in the second unit, though the Pacers have a plethora of young talent on the wing in Aaron Nesmith, Bennedict Mathurin and Jarace Walker.
