Available to play Mathurin will be available for Tuesday's game against Houston, Farbod reports.

Impact Mathurin was acquired from Indiana at the trade deadline and is expected to step into a sizable role right out of the gate. The Clippers have made a lot of changes, but Mathurin could be set up nicely to be the No. 2 option on offense behind Kawhi Leonard.

Heading to Clippers The Pacers are sending Mathurin to the Clippers as part of the trade centered around Ivica Zubac on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Injuries have limited Mathurin to just 28 games in 2025-26, but he's now set to play a big role for the Clippers now that James Harden is out of the backcourt mix. His departure from Indiana frees up more playing time for Johnny Furphy, and his presence in Los Angeles should eat into the minutes of Jordan Miller. Mathurin has averaged 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 29.6 minutes per contest in his last eight games.

Tallies 25 points off bench Mathurin finished with 25 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 118-114 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Mathurin put together a strong showing in his fourth straight appearance off the bench. He was efficient from the field and got to the charity stripe regularly, putting up a team-high 10 attempts from the free-throw line. Mathurin appears to be easing away from his minutes restriction, as he's now logged 30-plus minutes in two consecutive matchup after being held to 25 and 28 minutes in his first two games back from a thumb injury.

Scores 15 points off bench Mathurin had 15 points (4-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Mathurin has been limited to 25 and 28 minutes off the bench in his first two games back from a thumb injury that caused him to miss 11 games between Jan. 4 and Jan. 23. The fourth-year forward has looked healthy, hitting the 15-point threshold both times, and it seems he'll be able to see minutes with minimal restrictions going forward. Mathurin's upside might be a bit capped due to the nature of his role, but he should remain capable of producing as long as he sees enough minutes due to his ability to score at any given moment.

Returns with 16-point outing Mathurin (thumb) tallied 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes off the bench Monday in the Pacers' 132-116 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Mathurin took the court Monday for his first appearance since Jan. 2 after a right thumb sprain kept him sidelined for 11 straight contests. Prior to missing time with the injury, Mathurin had started in all 24 of his appearances this season, but the Pacers brought him off the bench Monday seemingly with a plan to keep his minutes in check in his first game in more than three weeks. Mathurin provided efficient scoring on the second unit, but as per usual, his offensive output was supported by little production in other categories. Expect Mathurin to eventually regain his spot in the starting five once he gets fully reconditioned following his return from the injury.
