Bennedict Mathurin

Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will be unavailable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Mathurin is going to be sidelined on Friday due to a toe injury that he's dealing with. He's considered week-to-week for the time being, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be back for a little while yet. Aaron Nesmith and Jarace Walker will benefit from his absence in the meantime.

Indiana coach Rick Carlisle stated that Bennedict Mathurin is considered week-to-week due to a right hamstring issue, according to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star.

Fantasy Impact

This adds to Indiana's injury woes, as Obi Toppin (hamstring) is also expected to be sidelined for at least a month. With Mathurin out for the foreseeable future, the Pacers will likely increase the workloads for Ben Sheppard and Aaron Nesmith.

Bennedict Mathurin is set to undergo imaging on his right foot injury on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Mathurin already sat out Sunday's game for the Pacers. There should be an update on a potential timetable for his return once the Pacers receive the results on his imaging.

Bennedict Mathurin has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a right great toe sprain.

Fantasy Impact

Mathurin will miss the back end of the back-to-back after suffering a toe sprain during Saturday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies. With the Indiana Pacers dealing with multiple injuries, Pascal Siakam is expected to see a significant increase in usage, Ben Sheppard will likely be inserted into the starting lineup and Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin should see a big uptick in minutes.

Bennedict Mathurin finished Indiana's 141-135 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City on Thursday with 36 points (9-of-19 FG, 3-of-8 3Pt, 15-of-17 FT), 11 rebounds, and one assist over 45 minutes. His night ended early when he fouled out with four minutes remaining in the second overtime.

Fantasy Impact

Mathurin, alongside Pascal Siakam, shouldered the offensive load for the Pacers, especially after Andrew Nembhard left with a shoulder injury. Mathurin aggressively attacked the basket, leading to 17 free-throw attempts. Despite fouling out and the team ultimately losing, it was a highly encouraging start for the Arizona product, who averaged 16.1 points across 72 games last season. This performance suggests increased offensive responsibility and fantasy potential early in the 2025-26 campaign.
