Doubtful for Tuesday Mathurin is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Houston due to a sprained left wrist.

Impact Head coach Rick Carlisle said before Sunday's win over Chicago that Mathurin is day-to-day with the injury, but the third-year swingman is unlikely to conclude a two-game absence against the Rockets. Mathurin's eventual return would likely translate to fewer minutes for Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard, but they should each hang onto larger roles for at least one more outing.

Considered day-to-day Head coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Mathurin (wrist) can be considered day-to-day moving forward, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact Mathurin has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against Chicago while he deals with a sprained left wrist and various other ailments. However, Carlisle wouldn't rule out a potential return in Tuesday's game against the Rockets. The third-year pro has come off the bench in each of his last six appearances, during which he has averaged 14.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 25.3 minutes per contest. With Mathurin on the shelf, Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard could see a bump in minutes.

Set for spell on sidelines Mathurin (wrist) will miss "a couple of games at least," head coach Rick Carlisle told Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana.

Impact Mathurin is dealing with a wrist injury but is also banged up with multiple ailments, so the Pacers will give him enough time to recover from all the issues he's dealing with. It's uncertain when he'll return to the court, though, based on Carlisle's words. he should be out for at least the Pacers' next two or three games.

Slides to bench Tuesday Mathurin will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.

Impact Aaron Nesmith will supplant Mathurin in the starting five on Tuesday. The 22-year-old hasn't joined the second unit since Oct. 30, and over his last 10 outings, he has averaged 15.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers across 26.4 minutes per game. Mathurin has shot 51.8 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from three-point range in that 10-game span.

Makes up for early accident Mathurin racked up 25 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 119-112 win over the Clippers.

Impact Early on, it looked like Mathurin might end up being the goat in an Indiana loss -- he accidentally hit Myles Turner (concussion) in the face while going for a rebound just six minutes into the game, and the center never returned to the court. In part because of that turmoil, the Pacers found themselves staring at a 42-22 deficit after the first frame, but Mathurin stepped up in a big way and helped fuel a big comeback. It was the third-year guard's best scoring effort since he hung 25 on the Bucks on New Year's Eve, and just the second time he's produced 20 or more points in his last seven appearances, a stretch in which he's failed to play 30 minutes in any contest. The slight workload decline has led to Mathurin averaging 15.4 points, 4.1 boards, 1.1 assists and 1.1 threes in 25.0 minutes despite shooting 54.8 percent from the floor.
