Leading Scorer Bennedict Mathurin Ruled Out for Pacers with Toe Sprain

Indiana Pacers' leading scorer, Bennedict Mathurin, has been officially ruled out of Sunday night's game against Minnesota due to a toe sprain. This significant injury further exacerbates the Pacers' roster challenges, as the team is already missing seven other players, leaving the defending Eastern Conference champions significantly shorthanded for the matchup. Mathurin's absence will be a considerable blow to the team's offensive capabilities as they face the Timberwolves.
