2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mathurin's third season in Indiana looked eerily similar to his first two. He had plenty of head-turning moments, but he struggled with consistency once again. Overall, Mathurin appeared in 72 games (49 starts) and produced 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers on 45.8 percent shooting from the field. That wasn't enough to crack the top 150 in standard nine-category leagues on a per-game basis, and he would later see his minutes cut during the postseason with some scoring outbursts mixed in. Big things could be in store for year four, however. With Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) already ruled out for the season and with Myles Turner moving on to Milwaukee, coach Rick Carlisle already announced that Mathurin will be a full-time starter in 2025-26. Mathurin already had a high usage rate of 22.9 percent in 2024-25, but that could jump considerably. Mathurin isn't a complete fantasy asset, given his low steal/block rates, and his three-point shot is inconsistent, to say the least, on low volume. He has also not yet established himself as a reliable playmaker. But purely in terms of minutes, usage and the potential for him to take a leap in his fourth season with increased responsibility, there's certainly enough intrigue here to make him a worthwhile gamble in fantasy drafts.

Signed a two-year, $13.5 million contract with the Pacers in July of 2022. Pacers exercised $7.25 million team option for 2024-25 in October of 2023. Pacers exercised $9.19 million team option for 2025-26 in October of 2024. 
Without a timetable
Pacers' head coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Mathurin (thumb) will be out "a while," Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Pacers reporter Dustin Dopirak noted that when Carlisle uses the "a while" timetable, it typically means the player will spend at least a week sidelined, and potentially multiple weeks. Therefore, it doesn't sound like Mathurin will be available during Week 12. Aaron Nesmith, Johnny Furphy and Ben Sheppard will all help fill the void while Mathurin is out.

2022
Following a solid rookie campaign, Mathurin failed to take any major steps forward during the 2023-24 season before it was cut short due to shoulder surgery. Although he is expected to be fully healthy for the start of training camp, Mathurin will need to make some improvements on both ends of the floor, should he hope to attract the attention of fantasy managers. He finished as the 239th-ranked player in nine-category leagues last year, averaging 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers. His scoring was down when compared to his rookie season, however, he did manage to shoot the ball slightly better. The Pacers as a team took some major steps forward, earning themselves an Eastern Conference Finals appearance. After a deep postseason run, they opted to stick with basically the same roster heading into the 2024-25 campaign. This should mean that Mathurin will continue to come off the bench, serving as the sixth man. Mathurin can be considered a last-round target for anyone simply seeking a boost in points. If he is unable to make any improvements, Mathurin could find himself an elite streaming option and nothing more.

Rival teams are monitoring whether the Pacers could make Mathurin available ahead of the trade deadline, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mathurin is averaging a career-high 17.8 points per game but is due for a lucrative extension this summer, and that could complicate Indiana's long-term financial outlook. With the Pacers still searching for a long-term solution at center, Mathurin could emerge as a key trade chip if the front office opts to retool the roster. Mathurin is currently sidelined by a thumb sprain that could keep him out for a while.
