Limited in return
Furphy notched two rebounds in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 3, 2025
Upgraded to available
Furphy (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Denver, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 2, 2025
Lands questionable tag
Furphy (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 30, 2025
Out for Monday
Furphy (ankle) won't play Monday against the Cavs.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 29, 2025
Back with parent club
The Pacers recalled Furphy (ankle) from the G League's Novlesville Bloom on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 23, 2025
Still out for Monday
Furphy (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Furphy will miss a 10th straight game due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Raptors.
Nov 20, 2025
Another absence coming
Furphy (ankle) is out for Friday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 18, 2025
Sidelined yet again
Furphy (ankle) will miss Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
This will mark the eighth straight game on the shelf for Furphy. His next chance to play comes Friday against the Cavaliers.
Nov 16, 2025
Ruled out for Monday
Furphy (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Furphy will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. The second-year swingman can be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hornets until the Pacers provide another update on his status.
Nov 14, 2025
Another absence coming
Furphy (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
A left ankle sprain continues to plague Furphy, who is set for a sixth consecutive absence Saturday. The forward can be considered doubtful for game action, including Monday against Detroit, until the Pacers update his return timetable. In the meantime, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl should continue to soak up meaningful minutes in the depleted Indiana rotation.
Nov 5, 2025
Out at least five games
Furphy is set to miss at least the next five games for the Pacers, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.
ANALYSIS
Pacers' head coach Rick Carlisle said that Furphy will miss the Pacers' upcoming four-game road trip, and that his absence could extend beyond that, so it sounds like he's dealing with a relatively severe ankle sprain. Cody Martin and Ben Sheppard figure to split most of Furphy's minutes while he's out.
Nov 4, 2025
Out with ankle sprain
Furphy (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Furphy sprained his ankle during Monday's 117-115 loss to the Bucks, which will keep him sidelined Wednesday. The forward can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets. Jarace Walker should remain a strong streaming candidate against Brooklyn, with Jeremiah Robinson-Earl also being an option to pick up a few extra minutes.
Nov 3, 2025
Doesn't return vs. Milwaukee
Furphy (ankle) didn't return to Monday's 117-115 loss to the Bucks. He finished with three points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 13 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Furphy fell on a drive to the basket in the fourth quarter and sprained his left ankle. The second-year swingman's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nets. If he's unable to suit up against Brooklyn, Ben Sheppard and Taelon Peter are candidates for a bump in minutes.
Nov 3, 2025
Unlikely to return Monday
Furphy left Monday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain and is doubtful to return, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers haven't been able to catch a break with the health of the backcourt, as Quenton Jackson (hamstring) and now Furphy both picked up or aggravated injuries during Monday's clash. He left the game in the fourth quarter after falling on a drive to the basket, per Golden. It'll be up to RayJ Dennis and Taelon Peter to fill in down the stretch.
Nov 3, 2025
Good to go Monday
Furphy (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Furphy will shake off his probable tag due to a bone bruise on his left foot and suit up in his second consecutive game. During his return to action in Saturday's win over the Warriors, the second-year swingman posted five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes.
Nov 2, 2025
Likely to play Monday
Furphy (foot) is probable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Furphy is managing a bone bruise on his left foot but appears poised to play Monday. The Kansas product took on more playing time in Saturday's win over the Warriors, posting five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes.
Nov 2, 2025
Serves as sixth man in debut
Furphy (foot) tallied five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes Saturday in the Pacers' 114-109 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Though Furphy overall output won't attract much attention, the fact that he led the Indiana bench in minutes in his season debut after missing the Pacers' first last four games due to a bone bruise in his left foot could make the second-year wing's production worthy of keeping an eye on moving forward. With Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out for the season and with other key rotation players such as Obi Toppin (foot), Bennedict Mathurin (toe), Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also sidelined, plenty of playing time is up for grabs at every position in the short term, and Furphy could be one of multiple beneficiaries.
Nov 1, 2025
Available Saturday
Furphy (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy will shed his probable tag and return from a four-game absence due to a left foot bone bruise. The second-year swingman could see an increased role off the bench Saturday with Andrew Nembhard (shoulder), Bennedict Mathurin (toe), T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and Obi Toppin (foot) sidelined.
Nov 1, 2025
Likely to play Saturday
Furphy (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The second-year pro is trending toward returning Saturday from a four-game absence due to a bone bruise in his left foot. Furphy saw just one minute of playing time against the Thunder on Oct. 23, but assuming he's cleared to play against the Warriors, he could have an expanded role off the bench due to the absences of Andrew Nembhard (shoulder), Bennedict Mathurin (toe), Obi Toppin (foot) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring).
Oct 31, 2025
Won't play vs. Hawks
Furphy (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Hawks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy is set to have a four-game absence with a bone bruise in his foot following Friday. He has a short turnaround if he wants to suit up Saturday against the Warriors. Fantasy managers can turn to Jarace Walker for an appealing streaming option in the injury-riddled Indiana rotation.
Oct 30, 2025
Gets questionable tag
Furphy (foot) has been listed questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Furphy has a chance to end a three-game absence with a bone bruise in his foot. It's possible the forward will eventually carve out a role, given how shorthanded the Pacers are, but fantasy managers can likely find better streaming options if Furphy is available Friday.
Oct 28, 2025
Won't play vs. Dallas
Furphy (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Furphy will miss a third straight game due to a foot injury. The next chance for him to return to the floor will be Friday against the Hawks.
Oct 26, 2025
Ruled out Sunday
Furphy (foot) has been ruled out Sunday against the Timberwolves, source reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy will miss both legs of the team's back-to-back set due to left foot soreness. The second-year forward logged just one minute of action in the Pacers' season opener, so his absence should not change much in the rotation.
Oct 25, 2025
Ruled out Saturday
Furphy (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Furphy won't suit up against the Grizzlies due to left foot soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Timberwolves. The second-year swingman logged just one minute in Thursday's season-opening double-overtime loss to the Thunder, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.
Oct 25, 2025
Unlikely to play Saturday
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Furphy (foot) is "most likely out" for Saturday's game against Memphis, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy is expected to miss the front end of the team's back-to-back set due to left foot soreness. If he's ultimately ruled out, the second-year swingman's next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against Minnesota. Furphy logged just one minute in Thursday's season-opening double-overtime loss to the Thunder, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.
Oct 24, 2025
Questionable for Saturday
Furphy (foot) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
After playing only one minute during Thursday's loss to the Thunder, Furphy will potentially be sidelined due to a left foot issue. It remains to be seen what kind of role he'll play on the squad this season, which is not a good sign from a fantasy perspective.
Oct 24, 2025
Not part of regular rotation
Furphy had no counting stats in one minute during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Furphy sprained his ankle during a preseason game in mid-October. He was a game-time decision leading up to Thursday's regular-season opener but was always expected to play. It's unclear if he wasn't part of the rotation because he was still working his way back to 100 percent following time off, or if he's simply behind Obi Toppin, Jarace Walker, Ben Sheppard and Taelon Peter on the depth chart to start the season. Andrew Nembhard left this game early due to a shoulder injury, and if he joins T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Quenton Jackson (hamstring) and Kam Jones (back) on the short-term injury list, there would presumably be more minutes for Furphy moving forward.
Oct 22, 2025
Available vs. OKC
Furphy (ankle) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Thunder, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy suffered an ankle injury during the preseason, which threatened his status for the regular-season opener. He'll join Jarace Walker (back), who was also cleared ahead of Thursday's matchup.
Oct 22, 2025
On track to play
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle expects Furphy (ankle) to play Opening Night against the Thunder, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy sprained his left ankle during an Oct. 11 preseason game and was sidelined for the remainder of exhibition play, but he continues to trend in the right direction. Furphy generated some buzz over the offseason and could play a prominent role for the second unit.
Oct 19, 2025
Hopeful for season opener
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle is hopeful that Furphy (ankle) will be ready for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy sprained his left ankle during an Oct. 11 preseason game and was sidelined for the remainder of exhibition play. The 20-year-old averaged just 7.6 minutes across 50 regular-season appearances as a rookie last year but is expected to take on an expanded role in 2025-26.
Oct 17, 2025
Doesn't play Friday
Furphy (ankle) didn't play in Friday's 133-104 preseason loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Furphy is still nursing a sprained left ankle and missed the team's preseason finale. The second-year swingman's next opportunity to suit up will come in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Thunder.
Oct 13, 2025
Won't suit up Monday
Furphy (ankle) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Spurs, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy sprained his left ankle in Saturday's preseason win over the Thunder and was unable to return. Head coach Rick Carlisle said Furphy's injury isn't "super serious," though there is a chance he could miss the team's regular-season opener against the Thunder on Friday, Oct. 23. His last opportunity to suit up during the preseason will come in Friday's rematch against San Antonio.
Oct 11, 2025
Won't return vs. OKC
Furphy suffered a left ankle sprain during Saturday's preseason game against the Thunder and won't return.
ANALYSIS
Furphy logged 11 minutes off the bench before going down with the ankle injury. His night comes to an end after scoring eight points, three rebounds and one steal. The next chance for him to return to the floor will be Monday against the Spurs.
Oct 8, 2025
Productive in 20 minutes Tuesday
Furphy closed with 12 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Furphy was one of only three Pacers to play at least 20 minutes, making the most of his time on the floor. Both TJ McConnell (hamstring) and Delon Wright (head) were injured during the course of the game, perhaps contributing to Furphy's playing time. Nonetheless, it would appear as though the young Australian could be in for a larger role this season, with Indiana likely solidifying its depth chart prior to the return of Tyrese Haliburton. While there are no guarantees, Furphy is worth keeping an eye on moving forward.
Oct 5, 2025
Participating in training camp
Furphy (rest) is participating in training camp ahead of the team's preseason opener against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Furphy missed time at the end of Summer League for rest purposes, but is seemingly good to go for the start of the preseason. Furphy could be in line for an increased role in year two after averaging 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.6 minutes per game across 50 contests during his rookie season.
Jul 17, 2025
Likely done in Summer League
Furphy (not injury related) has been ruled out for Thursday's Summer League game against the Knicks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy has likely played his last game during the Las Vegas Summer League. The Kansas product had an impressive two-way performance in what was potentially his last outing, finishing with 15 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in Monday's loss to the Bulls.
Jul 14, 2025
Chips in 15 points in SL loss
Furphy posted 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 31 minutes in Monday's 114-105 Summer League loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Furphy was one of five Pacers players to score in double figures during an efficient outing. He had a productive two-way showing, finishing as the only player to record multiple steals and multiple blocks. The 20-year-old swingman played a limited bench role for Indiana in 2024-25, averaging 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds across 7.6 minutes per game in 50 regular-season appearances.
Jun 23, 2025
Brief appearance
Furphy had no counting stats in one minute during Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Furphy saw just one minute of action in Game 7, continuing his limited role throughout the postseason. The rookie spent time between the G League and NBA during the regular season, averaging 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.6 minutes per game across 50 appearances with the Pacers.
Apr 11, 2025
Career-best performance
Furphy chipped in 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 129-115 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Furphy played at least 30 minutes for the first time in his young career, ending with a career-high 17 points. Taken with the 35th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Furphy has had to bide his time this season, typically playing a minor role off the bench. He has appeared sporadically throughout the campaign, averaging 1.8 points and 1.3 rebounds across 49 games played.
Mar 31, 2025
Back with parent club
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Furphy joined the Mad Ants earlier in the day for practice but will be available for the Pacers' game against the Kings, which tips off at 7 p.m. ET. The rookie is unlikely to be included in the rotation.
Mar 24, 2025
Recalled to NBA
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Furphy spent the afternoon in the G League, finishing with 29 points (10-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in Monday's 116-113 loss to the Windy City Bulls. For the Pacers, Furphy is likely to remain an emergency depth option.
Mar 19, 2025
Cleared to play Wednesday
Furphy (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing the past two games with an illness, Furphy will be available off the bench Wednesday. Given that the rookie second-rounder is logging a mere 4.2 minutes per game across his last seven appearances, however, Furphy's presence is unlikely to have a major impact on the Pacers' rotation.
Mar 17, 2025
Out with illness
Furphy is out for Monday's game against Minnesota due to an illness, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers are missing four regular starters Monday, and Furphy will join them on the sideline. The rookie second-rounder's next chance to play arrives Wednesday against the Mavericks. Bennedict Mathurin could see a slight boost in playing time against the Timberwolves.
Mar 16, 2025
Questionable to return Monday
Furphy (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Furphy wasn't available for Saturday's loss to the Bucks due to an illness, and he's in jeopardy of being sidelined for a second straight game. He hasn't seen much playing time this season, so his absence Monday wouldn't make a huge impact on the Pacers' rotation.
Mar 15, 2025
Won't play Saturday
Furphy is out for Saturday's game versus the Bucks due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Furphy has received inconsistent playing time for the Pacers this season, so his absence won't significantly impact the team's rotation. Furphy's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Minnesota.
Mar 11, 2025
Pulls down eight rebounds
Furphy notched four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and three steals in 18 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Tyrese Haliburton sat out a third straight game due to a hip injury, allowing guys like Furphy and Quenton Jackson to see some extra minutes. Furphy hasn't seen a ton of run with the Pacers this season, as he's averaged 6.8 minutes across 40 appearances. He's been a key player for the Indiana Mad Ants in the G League, however.
Mar 4, 2025
Non-factor again Tuesday
Furphy played the final 1:30 of Tuesday's 115-102 win over the Rockets, recording zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one foul.
ANALYSIS
Furphy continues to handle a muted role off the bench for the Pacers, with most of his minutes of late having come in garbage-time scenarios.
Mar 3, 2025
Rejoins parent club
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Monday.
ANALYSIS
After playing 28 minutes for the Mad Ants in Monday's win over Raptors 905, Furphy has rejoined the parent club ahead of Tuesday's game against Houston. The rookie second-round pick is averaging just 3.2 minutes per game over his last seven appearances with the Pacers, so he's unlikely to see meaningful playing time Tuesday.
Feb 25, 2025
Recalled to NBA
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Furphy spent the afternoon with the Mad Ants and was quickly recalled. In a 121-93 win over the Swarm, Furphy produced 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes.
Feb 21, 2025
Recalled to NBA on Thursday
The Pacers assigned Furphy to the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Thursday and recalled him following Thursday's 104-97 G League loss to the Maine Celtics
ANALYSIS
Furphy tallied eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's G League loss. The rookie second-round pick hasn't received much run outside of garbage time at the NBA level, and he'll likely continue to navigate between the G League and NBA.
Jan 28, 2025
Efficient from range in G League
Furphy tallied 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 107-99 win over the G League's Motor City Cruise. Following Tuesday's contest, the Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League Indiana Mad Ants.
ANALYSIS
Furphy continues to split time between the NBA and G League this season. Furphy was averaging 12.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 35.2 minutes across his previous six G League appearances coming into Tuesday's contest. The 20-year-old guard's efficient shooting from downtown was also a welcome sight, as he had been converting just 25.8 percent of his 5.2 three-point attempts per contest previously.
Jan 18, 2025
Recalled by parent club
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Furphy will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. Furphy tallied 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 119-10 loss to the G League's Wisconsin Herd.
Jan 14, 2025
Recalled from G League
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
After being assigned to the Mad Ants on Monday, Furphy is back with the parent club in short order with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) doubtful for Tuesday. The 20-year-old rookie second-rounder is logging just 8.3 minutes per game over 26 appearances with the Pacers this year, so Furphy's presence shouldn't have a major effect on Indiana's rotation, and there's no guarantee he'll see the floor in Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Jan 10, 2025
Recalled to NBA on Friday
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Furphy joined the Mad Ants for their 119-108 win over the Osceola Magic on Friday, during which he posted 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block across 34 minutes. The rookie has received little playing time at the NBA level of late, though he will have the chance to suit up Friday against the Warriors after playing with the Mad Ants.
Jan 8, 2025
Recalled to NBA
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
From Nov. 13 through Dec. 27, the rookie second-round pick averaged 12.0 minutes per game across 16 NBA appearances. However, playing time has been hard to come by for Furphy since the calendar flipped to 2025. The Pacers have Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) and Myles Turner (illness) listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls. If both of those players are ruled out, Furphy would likely be part of Indiana's rotation.
Dec 5, 2024
Starts second half in loss
Furphy provided 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Starting the second half in favor of Quenton Jackson, Furphy effectively went for season highs across the board with his 12 points, seven boards and four three-pointers in 25 minutes. The rookie second-rounder hasn't played a clear role in Indiana's rotation this season, appearing in 13 of a possible 23 games, but Wednesday's showing could earn him more minutes from head coach Rick Carlisle's second unit going forward. It's worth noting the Pacers were without Andrew Nembhard (knee) in this one, so it remains to be seen what kind of role Furphy may play when Nembhard is healthy. With that said, fantasy managers can ignore Furphy on waiver wires for the time being.
Nov 27, 2024
Available Wednesday
Furphy (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Furphy will shake off a questionable tag and return to action after a one-game absence. Before he was sidelined, the rookie had played double-digit minutes in three straight games for the shorthanded Pacers, averaging 4.7 points in 15.3 minutes during that stretch.
Nov 26, 2024
Iffy against Portland
Furphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Furphy is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. If he's ruled out yet again, Quenton Jackson, Tristen Newton and Jarace Walker are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Nov 25, 2024
Out Monday
Furphy (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy was deemed available to return after spraining his ankle during Sunday's win over the Wizards, but he'll be sidelined for the second half of Indiana's back-to-back set. With Andrew Nembhard (knee), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Ben Sheppard (oblique) all out, Furphy had worked his way into the rotation, so in the rookie's absence, T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker are candidates for a few extra minutes.
Nov 25, 2024
Listed as questionable
Furphy (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Furphy picked up a left ankle injury in Sunday's 115-103 win over the Wizards. He was deemed available to return, but he never went back into the game and was seen icing his ankle on the bench. If Furphy is unable to go, Quenton Jackson and T.J. McConnell could pick up a few minutes.
Nov 25, 2024
Injures ankle Sunday
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Furphy sustained a left ankle injury in Sunday's 115-103 win over the Wizards, but the Pacers don't yet know the severity of the issue, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy checked out of the game with 52 seconds remaining in the third quarter and made a trip to the locker room to get his ankle checked out. Though Furphy returned to the bench with ice on his injured ankle and was available to play, Carlisle never subbed the rookie back into the game during the final quarter. Furphy, who finished Sunday's game with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one assist in 11 minutes, looks iffy for Monday's contest against the Pelicans.
Nov 20, 2024
Good to go Wednesday
Furphy (hand) will play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy was tabbed questionable for Wednesday's contest due to a left hand injury, but he's been given the green light to face Houston. He's averaging 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds in 6.5 minutes across six appearances this season.
Nov 19, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday vs. Rockets
Furphy (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Furphy exited Monday's loss to the Raptors early after sustaining a left hand injury in the first half. The rookie's absence shouldn't cause many waves in the rotation as he has averaged only 6.5 minutes per game this year, though the club will be without Andrew Nembhard (knee) and Aaron Nesmith (ankle).
Nov 18, 2024
Won't return Monday
Furphy (hand) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Raptors, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy sustained a left hand injury during the first half of Monday's game, and he will finish with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) across eight minutes. The team is already without Ben Sheppard (oblique), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Andrew Nembhard (knee), meaning Quenton Jackson and T.J. McConnell will have to pick up the slack in the second unit the rest of the way.

Iffy to return Monday
Furphy is questionable to return during Monday's game against the Raptors due to a left hand injury, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Starreports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy was not on the bench to begin the second half and could sit the rest of the way. The rookie's absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation as he has yet to play double-digit minutes in a game this season.

Out for remainder of preseason
Coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Furphy (ankle) will not suit up for the remainder of the preseason, Tony East of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy tweaked his ankle during training camp in early October, and he has been a limited participant during practice since. While the 19-year-old is not expected to see the floor until Opening Night, he was able to put shots up during Sunday's shootaround and looked comfortable doing so. The No. 35 overall pick of the 2024 Draft will likely struggle to find significant playing time to begin his career, and he will compete for minutes with Bennedict Mathurin, Kendall Brown and Jarace Walker off the bench.

Out again Thursday

Not participating in 5-on-5 Friday
Furphy (ankle) will not participate in the Pacers' 5-on-5 scrimmage Sunday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Furphy has been dealing with an ankle injury which has kept him limited during training camp. The 19-year-old was a full-go for Friday's practice, so the club is likely just taking it slow with the rookie until the regular season begins. Furphy is expected to compete for playing time in the second unit, though the Pacers have a plethora of wing talent in Aaron Nesmith, Bennedict Mathurin and Jarace Walker.
Oct 4, 2024
Practices fully Friday
Furphy (ankle) was active during Friday's practice, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Headed to Indiana at No. 35
Furphy was selected by the Pacers with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers traded up one spot with the Spurs to grab Furphy, who's coming off of a freshman season at Kansas in which he averaged 9.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 made threes per game. Furphy is an intriguing blend of size and shooting, having knocked down 35.2 percent of his three-point looks at Kansas. He's unlikely to make much of an impact in Year 1 but could be an interesting developmental project for the Pacers.
