Mathurin (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

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,

Mathurin (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. After a 13-point performance in Saturday's blowout win against the Spurs, Mathurin might not be able to get on the floor Wednesday against Detroit because of an illness.

This is only a one-game suspension, so Mathurin will be back on Saturday for the game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pacers are going to need him for as many games as possible because of the scoring and rebounding he brings to the roster. So far this season, Mathurin is averaging 16.5 points, six points, and two assists per game.

Detroit blew out Indiana in their last meeting at Gainbridge Fieldhouse but failed to cover twice against the Pacers at home. The Stones have also failed to defend Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin effectively.

Pacers forward Pascal Siakam scored 37 points against the Pistons to make his case for a third trip to an NBA All-Star Game.

Playing 35 minutes off the bench, Alexander-Walker scored a season-high 23 points with four rebounds, one assist, and five 3-pointers. He shot 8-of-14 from the field and 2-of-2 from the line, and the five 3-pointers were one shy of his career-high.

The next game the Pacers play is tonight against the Pistons. Despite not having played for three full days, Nembhard found himself on the injury report prior to the game. Nembhard was listed as questionable due to a thoracic spine sprain and has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup. He will be out for this game.

Pascal Siakam had a season high 37 points, Tyrese Haliburton added 30 and the host Indiana Pacers fought off a strong challenge to defeat the Detroit Pistons 133-119 Wednesday night in Indianapolis.

Pascal Siakam scored 37 points and Tyrese Haliburton scored 30 as the Pacers won a technical-foul filled contest over the Pistons.

Jaden Ivey and Bennedict Mathurin have had words in the past and now that the Pistons aren’t a complete doormat, things have escalated each time the two teams have played.
