Johnny Furphy News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Rare sighting Thursday Furphy ended Thursday's 111-94 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with one rebound in one minute.

Impact Furphy made a rare appearance, taking to the court for the first time in the past six games. With Indiana no match for New York, the coaching staff shifted into safety mode, allowing the fringe players some much-needed playing time. Despite the loss, the Pacers still lead the Eastern Conference Finals 3-2 with Game 6 tabled for Saturday in Indiana.

Recalled to NBA The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Monday.

Impact Furphy spent the afternoon in the G League, finishing with 29 points (10-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in Monday's 116-113 loss to the Windy City Bulls. For the Pacers, Furphy is likely to remain an emergency depth option.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Wednesday Furphy (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact After missing the past two games with an illness, Furphy will be available off the bench Wednesday. Given that the rookie second-rounder is logging a mere 4.2 minutes per game across his last seven appearances, however, Furphy's presence is unlikely to have a major impact on the Pacers' rotation.

Out with illness Furphy is out for Monday's game against Minnesota due to an illness, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact The Pacers are missing four regular starters Monday, and Furphy will join them on the sideline. The rookie second-rounder's next chance to play arrives Wednesday against the Mavericks. Bennedict Mathurin could see a slight boost in playing time against the Timberwolves.

MARCH 17

Questionable to return Monday Furphy (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Furphy wasn't available for Saturday's loss to the Bucks due to an illness, and he's in jeopardy of being sidelined for a second straight game. He hasn't seen much playing time this season, so his absence Monday wouldn't make a huge impact on the Pacers' rotation.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Furphy is out for Saturday's game versus the Bucks due to an illness.

Impact Furphy has received inconsistent playing time for the Pacers this season, so his absence won't significantly impact the team's rotation. Furphy's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Minnesota.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down eight rebounds Furphy notched four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and three steals in 18 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Tyrese Haliburton sat out a third straight game due to a hip injury, allowing guys like Furphy and Quenton Jackson to see some extra minutes. Furphy hasn't seen a ton of run with the Pacers this season, as he's averaged 6.8 minutes across 40 appearances. He's been a key player for the Indiana Mad Ants in the G League, however.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Non-factor again Tuesday Furphy played the final 1:30 of Tuesday's 115-102 win over the Rockets, recording zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one foul.

Impact Furphy continues to handle a muted role off the bench for the Pacers, with most of his minutes of late having come in garbage-time scenarios.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to NBA The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Monday.

Impact Furphy spent the afternoon with the Mad Ants and was quickly recalled. In a 121-93 win over the Swarm, Furphy produced 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to NBA on Thursday The Pacers assigned Furphy to the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Thursday and recalled him following Thursday's 104-97 G League loss to the Maine Celtics

Impact Furphy tallied eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's G League loss. The rookie second-round pick hasn't received much run outside of garbage time at the NBA level, and he'll likely continue to navigate between the G League and NBA.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient from range in G League Furphy tallied 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 107-99 win over the G League's Motor City Cruise. Foll...

Impact Furphy continues to split time between the NBA and G League this season. Furphy was averaging 12.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 35.2 minutes across his previous six G League appearances coming into Tuesday's contest. The 20-year-old guard's efficient shooting from downtown was also a welcome sight, as he had been converting just 25.8 percent of his 5.2 three-point attempts per contest previously.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by parent club The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Friday.

Impact Furphy will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. Furphy tallied 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 119-10 loss to the G League's Wisconsin Herd.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from G League The Pacers recalled Furphy from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Tuesday.

Impact After being assigned to the Mad Ants on Monday, Furphy is back with the parent club in short order with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) doubtful for Tuesday. The 20-year-old rookie second-rounder is logging just 8.3 minutes per game over 26 appearances with the Pacers this year, so Furphy's presence shouldn't have a major effect on Indiana's rotation, and there's no guarantee he'll see the floor in Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
