Johnny

Furphy

Due to a sprained left ankle, Furphy has not appeared in a game since November 3. While Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that the second-year wing will be available for Wednesday’s game, fantasy managers should not interpret that as a guarantee that he’ll see the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Furphy on the waiver wire.

After hosting the Nets on Wednesday, the Pacers will hit the road for four games, starting Saturday in Denver. Furphy, who injured his left ankle during Monday’s loss to the Bucks, will not play, and there’s a chance he misses time beyond the road trip. To help account for their team’s many injuries, the Pacers received a hardship waiver to sign Cody Martin to a 10-day contract. He’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball, but rotation minutes should be available.

Furphy, who missed four games earlier this season with a bone bruise in his left foot, sprained his left ankle during Monday’s game. He’s doubtful to return, and it’s fair to question Furphy’s availability for Wednesday’s game against the Nets. Under normal circumstances, Furphy’s availability would not significantly impact fantasy basketball. However, given the Pacers’ many injuries, they can’t afford to incur any more personnel losses.

Furphy is good to go after being listed as probable for Monday’s game. He’ll likely play between 22 and 25 minutes, but there isn’t much to be gained from streaming Furphy, even with the Pacers’ many injuries.

Furphy returned to action Saturday after a four-game absence, playing 23 minutes off the bench in a win over the Warriors. He’ll likely take on a similar workload against the Bucks, but that isn’t enough to make Furphy a streamable player, even with the Pacers’ many injuries.

Another injury is the last thing the Pacers needed. Walker exited Saturday’s game with a sore left foot and is questionable to return. Having Johnny Furphy back in the rotation will help account for his absence, as will Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. If Walker has to miss time, Furphy would be worth targeting in deep leagues.

Furphy is available after missing four games with a bone bruise in his left foot. He isn’t under a minutes restriction, and there will be an opportunity for Furphy to achieve fantasy relevance due to the Pacers’ many injuries. Jarace Walker remains the superior fantasy target, but keep an eye on Furphy.

Furphy missed the last four games with a bone bruise in his left foot, but is likely to return Saturday against the Warriors given his probable injury designation. The 20-year-old shooting guard isn’t fantasy-relevant at this point in his career, but should see decent rotation minutes with the Pacers missing many players due to injury.

Furphy, who was initially questionable for Friday’s game, will miss a fourth straight contest due to a bone bruise in his left foot. Taelon Peter’s return from a groin injury will give the Pacers a little more depth on the perimeter, but he isn’t worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

Furphy missed Indiana’s last three games with a bone bruise in his left foot, while Peter missed the previous two with a strained right groin. While neither player had much of an impact on fantasy basketball when healthy, they’ll play rotation minutes once cleared due to the Pacers’ lengthy injury report.
