Indiana Pacers rookie Johnny Furphy set a new career high in scoring Monday on assignment in the G League, leading the Indiana Mad Ants against the Windy City Bulls.
Furphy produced 29 points, nine rebounds, two steals and one assist in the 116-113 loss at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. He finished by shooting 10-of-14 from the field, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range, and 4-of-7 from the free-throw line in 36 minutes.
The 35th pick made six out of his first seven shots from the field, scoring 17 points in the first half alone. He committed only two turnovers and was a minus-six on the court.
Furphy logged his 10th appearance with the Mad Ants, averaging 14.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and one block on 45.2% shooting from the field. He has scored in double figures seven times and registered three double-doubles.
The 20-year-old has spent much of the season with the Pacers, though he has played sparingly; he has only played more than 10 minutes once in 2025. The team expected Furphy would be in the G League but has kept him around for depth and learning purposes.
The organization is high on his potential and believes he can eventually step in and contribute. He has showcased his ability at a high level with the Mad Ants and has offered a glimpse of the production he can bring on a nightly basis.
