Expected to play Mathurin (rest) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Hawks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact There was a chance the rookie would rest his ankle during the second game of the back-to-back set, but he'll likely see the floor. Mathurin's coming off a terrible performance in Friday's loss to the Celtics, where he posted just two points, two assists and one rebound in 25 minutes.

Questionable at Atlanta Mathurin is questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Hawks due to right ankle sprain injury management.

Impact Mathurin struggled during Friday's loss to the Celtics, posting just two points, two assists and one rebound in 25 minutes. He could rest on the second night of the back-to-back along with Tyrese Haliburton (rest), Chris Duarte (ankle) and Myles Turner (back), who are also all questionable.

Bennedict Mathurin returns for Indiana Pacers with 18 point outing against Charlotte Hornets Mathurin missed the first four games of his career with a sprained ankle

MARCH 22, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Efficient in return Mathurin (ankle) amassed 18 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 115-109 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Head coach Rick Carlisle inserted Mathurin in the starting five after missing the Pacers' previous four games, and the rookie didn't exhibit any rust while taking on a healthy minutes load. The Pacers are running low on bodies with Tyrese Haliburton (knee) and Chris Duarte (ankle) having both missed multiple games, so Mathurin looks as though he could be in store for an expanded role on offense in the contests to come now that he's moved past his own injury.

Will start Monday Mathurin (ankle) will start Monday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Mathurin will slide right into the starting lineup during his first appearance following a four-game absence due to an ankle injury. The rookie first-round pick has drawn only six previous starts this season, averaging 14.5 points and 4.2 rebounds in 28.8 minutes during those contests. In a corresponding move, Jordan Nwora will shift to a bench role.

Bennedict Mathurin to return for Indiana Pacers vs Charlotte Hornets, Chris Duarte remains out Mathurin has missed the Pacers last four games

MARCH 20, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Cleared for action Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Mathurin (ankle) will play Monday against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Impact Mathurin participated in the team's morning shootaround and has been cleared to return following a four-game absence due to an ankle injury. It's unclear how many minutes he'll play in his first game since March 9, but his presence will likely mean fewer minutes for Jordan Nwora. Before his injury, Mathurin had scored in double figures in eight of his previous 10 appearances, averaging 15.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 28.3 minutes during that stretch.

Impact Mathurin missed his second straight game in Monday's 117-97 loss to the Pistons while he recovers from the right ankle sprain he sustained in last Thursday's win over Houston.

However, the Pacers have yet to provide an official update on his status for that contest.

Can't get shots to fall Mathurin contributed six points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 124-122 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Mathurin started and ended February with rough performances. The rookie averaged just 7.5 points over the first four games of the month, his worst four-game stretch of the season. He followed that up with double-digits in six straight games. Despite Dallas' defensive struggles Tuesday, Mathurin made just one shot. It was an extremely disappointing night since his point production is the primary value he brings to fantasy.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 19 points in win Mathurin totaled 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-108 win over Orlando.

Impact Mathurin scored in double digits for the sixth straight game, continuing what has been an impressive rookie season. Although his scoring output has been consistent, a lack of supporting stats continues to be an issue when it comes to overall fantasy appeal. Despite scoring upward of 17 points per game, he sits well outside the top 200 in nine-category formats. He remains a viable 12-team asset but is heavily geared toward managers needing points only.
