Bennedict Mathurin of the Indiana Pacers will miss the rest of the season due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder, requiring surgery. The injury occurred during a game against Dallas when he collided with P.J. Washington.
Mathurin's absence will be felt by the team, impacting their rotation and putting more pressure on other players like Pascal Siakam and rookie Ben Sheppard. The Pacers will need to adjust and overcome this setback as they aim to secure a higher playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.
