Overview

  • Furphy went down after an awkward landing following a dunk against the Raptors and was taken to the locker room in a wheelchair.
  • The Pacers have described the issue as a sore right leg, and coach Rick Carlisle said the team does not yet know the extent of the injury.
  • Carlisle said Furphy will undergo imaging and evaluation in New York, emphasizing that the club is hoping for the best but has no answers yet.
  • A report citing HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto says Furphy tore his ACL, though the team has not confirmed that diagnosis.
  • Furphy has started in his breakout second season as Indiana copes with injuries and a 13-40 record, with visible concern from Tyrese Haliburton and widespread fan support following the incident.
