Mathurin Out 'A While' with Thumb Injury, No Clear Return Timeline

Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) will be sidelined for 'a while,' according to Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle. This typically indicates an absence of at least a week, potentially multiple weeks, meaning Mathurin is not expected to be available during Week 12. Aaron Nesmith, Johnny Furphy, and Ben Sheppard are anticipated to help fill the void in the rotation during his absence.
