Indiana guard Bennedict Mathurin is being monitored by nearly every team seen as a buyer at the deadline, according to one scouting executive. But because the Pacers are playing such good basketball, the team is expected to seek a player it values while trying to recoup the first-round pick it spent on Mathurin in a deal.

Scott Agness: Andrew Nembhard (back strain) and Bennedict Mathurin (illness) have been downgraded to OUT for tonight v Pistons. Wonder if Nembhard took too many hits/hard screens in that second Paris game. Likely leads to Nesmith’s return to the starting lineup, along with Sheppard. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / January 29, 2025
