Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin, T-Wolves Anthony Edwards questionable for Monday

[ASFN Admin]

INDIANAPOLIS -- Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin is listed as questionable with a left ankle sprain on the injury report for Monday's home game against the Timberwolves, but All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton is no longer on the injury report after missing three games this week with lower back soreness.

Mathurin is averaging 16.2 points per game this season and scored 20-plus points in each of the three games Haliburton missed including 28 points and 16 rebounds in Thursday's win over the Nets. Mathurin was recently moved to the bench as the backup at small forward behind Aaron Nesmith, but he started at shooting guard with Haliburton out and Andrew Nembhard moved to point guard.

Timberwolves All-Star guard Anthony Edwards is also listed as questionable with a right thumb laceration. Edwards is averaging 27.5 points per game this season which puts him fourth in the NBA behind MVP candidates Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic
