Bennedict Mathurin Cleared to Play Monday vs. Hawks After Thumb Injury

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Hawks. Mathurin, who missed the past 11 games due to the injury, was able to clear his questionable tag. It is not yet clear if he will face any minute restrictions in his return. His return could potentially move Johnny Furphy back to the second unit for the Pacers.
