Head coach Rick Carlisle said Thursday that Mathurin (shoulder) will miss the Pacers' next three games, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Mathurin had already been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a right shoulder sprain, but he'll also sit out games Sunday in Orlando and Tuesday in Oklahoma City before the Pacers re-evaluate him following the brief road trip. With Doug McDermott (calf) also out Thursday and uncertain to play during the two-game road trip, rookie Ben Sheppard should be in store for an expanded profile on the Pacers' second unit.
