Ruled out Tuesday Mathurin (illness) will not play Tuesday versus Houston, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports

Battling an illness Mathurin is questionable for Tuesday's game against Houston due to an illness.

Coming off bench Mathurin isn't starting Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Mathurin has been cleared to suit up for a second consecutive game Sunday, but he'll retreat to the bench after joining the starting lineup for Friday's loss to Sacramento. Over 33 bench appearances this year, he's averaged 14.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.4 minutes per game.

Cleared for action Mathurin (toe) will play Sunday versus Charlotte.

Impact Mathurin will suit up for a second consecutive game following a two-game absence due to a toe sprain. He logged a full 37-minute workload in Friday's loss to Sacramento, putting him on track for no restrictions Sunday. Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring/back) is a game-time decision, which is a swing factor for the upside of Indiana's offense holistically.

Questionable against Hornets Mathurin is questionable to face the Hornets on Sundays with a right toe sprain.

Impact Mathurin has been battling a toe issue since the end of January, missing two games as a result. However, he was able to play 37 minutes Friday against the Kings and erupted for 31 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals.

Impact Mathurin moved back into the starting lineup, leading all scorers with 31 points in 37 minutes. The Pacers made several changes to their opening unit, with Mathurin joined by T.J. McConnell and Isaiah Jackson. It is unclear whether Mathurin will stick as a starter moving forward but given his ability to be a high-volume scorer, he is worth grabbing if he was dropped in your league.

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.

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.

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.
