Bennedict Mathurin was determined to play in all 82 games this season.
That now appears to be unlikely after he was carried off the court and the Pacers are bracing for him to miss time due to sprained ankle.

Haliburton scored 12 of his 29pts in OT, dished a career-high 19asts to lead the Pacers to a 134-125 win over the Rockets.
They outscored them 19-10 in OT after scoring just 17 4Q pts.
Nwora scored 18, Turner had 21. Mathurin was injured in the 1Q
Next: Saturday at Detroit. – 9:41 PM

Looked like Bennedict Mathurin turned his right ankle. In a good deal of pain as he is helped off the floor, putting no weight on it. – 7:35 PM

Benn Mathurin down on the court, holding his right ankle. In a lot of pain.
He and Buddy Hield have played in every game this season. – 7:34 PM

Pacers were on an 11-0 run before the Rockets got the last two buckets. Mathurin and Duarte on the floor and Carlisle wasn’t thrilled with the defense there. – 7:31 PM

Only 12 players go to the World Cup or Olympics, and there are two players committed to Team Canada who are on European pro teams (Kevin Pangos, Melvin Ejim), so there is some room to maneuver by a player or two when it comes time for Nurse and Canada’s deep thinkers to submit a final roster. “Going right to him (Murray), I would say that’s a little bit of a tough one,” Nurse said. “I would say he is fully committed. He came to all the camps. He really wants to play. He’s got a lot of season left. He’s got a playoff run left. I think if he comes through healthy and he’s good I think so (for Murray) at the World Cup.” Nurse also said Mathurin, who was on the Canadian World Cup team in 2019, “has expressed a strong interest in playing this summer.” -via The Athletic / February 27, 2023
