The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Friday. 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.
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Tuesday. 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.
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Friday. 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.
The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Wednesday. 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.
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. 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 with the 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.
Furphy (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland. 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.
Furphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers. 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.
Furphy (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports. 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.
Furphy (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans. 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 extra minutes.
