Wants to play Pacers forward in game 5

Mathurin finished third with the Pacers in the team (16.1 points per game) and rebounding (5.3 per game). He started 49 games at Shooting Guard and Small Forward and although he was moved to the bank in February to bring Nesmith back into the starting line -up at Small Forward, he got a few start starts due to injuries.

Mathurin scored an average of 15.9 points per game in his career and the third-part scorer among members of the design class from 2022.

In Mathurin’s absence on Sunday, the Wings played in the second year, Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker, both over 21 minutes in front of the bank. Walker scored 12 points in the 4-of-5 point range from 4-of-5 shoots, won five rebounds and scored three assists. Sheppard met a 3 pointer and had three rebounds and the Pacers won 129-103.
