Nearly double-doubles vs. Boston Furphy amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Furphy came up just short of notching his second career double-double after recording his first on Jan. 14. The 21-year-old has stepped into a meaningful role in Indiana's rotation, starting 10 consecutive games and 13 of the last 14. Over the last 10 outings, the second-year guard is averaging 6.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 threes and 0.7 steals over 22.1 minutes per game.

Johnny Furphy just gave Pacers fans another reason to be excited about the future Second-year Indiana Pacers wing Johnny Furphy just sent a big message in his latest showing that should have fans buzzing.

Double-doubles in loss Furphy ended Wednesday's 115-101 loss to the Raptors with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-8 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 26 minutes.

Impact Furphy recorded the first double-double of his career, turning in a balanced performance despite the loss. Having started nine of the past 10 games, Furphy appears to have earned himself a consistent role in Indiana. He isn't exactly playing starter-level minutes on a nightly basis, but he has logged at least 26 minutes in three of the past five games.

Limited workload in win Furphy ended with four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 98-96 win over the Celtics.

Impact Despite starting, Furphy was limited to 16 minutes. Meanwhile, Ben Sheppard logged 23 minutes off the bench, but he didn't find much success either. Over his last seven games, Fuphy has played 17.9 minutes per contest with 5.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly double-doubles Furphy finished with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 120-116 loss to Cleveland.

Impact This was a strong showing for Furphy in the starting lineup, and more opportunities may come his way with Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) still sidelined. Furphy had been limited to 13.5 minutes per game over his previous two outings, but he's suddenly worth monitoring closely as a waiver-wire pickup.

Starting Sunday Furphy is in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact Furphy will enter the Pacers' starting lineup Sunday due to the absence of Bennedict Mathurin (thumb). In 14 games (three starts) since Dec. 3, Furphy has averaged 5.1 points and 2.7 rebounds over 14.7 minutes per game.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Friday Furphy is not in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Spurs on Friday, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.

Impact Furphy will revert to a bench role Friday due while Aaron Nesmith enters the Pacers' starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 13. Furphy finished the month of December having averaged 4.9 points and 2.8 rebounds over 14.8 minutes per game.

Scores nine points in spot start Furphy registered nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Saturday's 142-116 loss to the Heat.

Impact Furphy received his first start of the season, scoring nine points for the second straight game. Furphy has now played at least 18 minutes in five straight games, an indication that he could be utilized a little more, if and when the Pacers throw in the towel, so to speak. Aaron Nesmith (knee) returned from an 18-game absence and will likely move back into the starting lineup at some point in the near future. There is no reason to go and add Furphy, although he is a name to monitor as the silly season approaches in February and March.

Starting vs. Miami Furphy is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact The Pacers continue to tweak their lineup, and Furphy will get the nod in the second leg of his back-to-back set in place of Quenton Jackson. Furphy is averaging 3.8 points and 2.3 boards per game this season across 12 appearances. This will be his first start of the campaign.

Good to go Monday Furphy (ankle) will play Monday against Boston.

Impact The Pacers listed Furphy as questionable after his best game of the season Saturday against the Pelicans -- he had 18 points and two rebounds over 23 minutes. T.J. McConnell (knee) is sidelined Monday, so there are some minutes up for grabs in Indiana.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing ankle sprain Furphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Furphy is coming off his best performance of the season in a 128-109 loss to the Pelicans, when he tallied 18 points and two rebounds over 23 minutes. He appears to have sprained his left ankle during that game, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the front end of the Pacers' back-to-back set Monday. His absence would mean more rotational minutes would be available for Garrison Matthews and Jarace Walker.

Scores season-high 18 points Furphy had 18 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two rebounds in 23 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Furphy made the most of his minutes off the bench Saturday, but this was an outlier compared to his previous performances. Prior to this 18-point game, Furphy's previous season-high marks were five points, four rebounds and 23 minutes. Furphy isn't expected to score at this rate in the upcoming games.

Limited in return Furphy notched two rebounds in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Furphy returned to action after missing the past 14 games due to an ankle injury. He moved straight into the rotation, logging 16 minutes off the bench. There is no reason to add him outside of deeper leagues at this stage, although he is someone to monitor, should Indiana decide to prioritize him at any point.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to available Furphy (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Denver, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Furphy is suiting up for the first time since Nov. 3 due to a sprained ankle. His return could slightly cut into the playing time of Garrison Mathews and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in the second unit. Furphy is averaging 12.3 minutes per contest through three appearances.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands questionable tag Furphy (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Impact Furphy has a chance to appear for the first time since Nov. 3 due to a sprained ankle. His return could slightly eat into the playing time of Garrison Mathews and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl off the bench.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Monday Furphy (ankle) won't play Monday against the Cavs.

Impact Furphy hasn't played since Nov. 3, but he was recently assigned to the Pacers' G League affiliate to get in some extra work, which feels like progress. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Nuggets.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back with parent club The Pacers recalled Furphy (ankle) from the G League's Novlesville Bloom on Saturday.

Impact Furphy was initially signed to the Bloom earlier Saturday, but he's back with the parent club. The second-year pro is dealing with an ankle injury and will not play Saturday against the Bulls, so his next chance to return is Monday against the Cavaliers.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still out for Monday Furphy (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Furphy will miss a 10th straight game due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Raptors.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another absence coming Furphy (ankle) is out for Friday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Furphy is on the shelf for a ninth game in a row with an ankle sprain. Unless Indiana offers up an update on his health, Furphy can be deemed doubtful for Monday's clash with Detroit. Jarace Walker remains a worthy short-term fantasy option in deep leagues until the Pacers get healthier.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined yet again Furphy (ankle) will miss Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact This will mark the eighth straight game on the shelf for Furphy. His next chance to play comes Friday against the Cavaliers.
