Rotowire
Coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Furphy (ankle) will not suit up for the remainder of the preseason, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Furphy tweaked his ankle during training camp in early October and has been a limited participant during practice since. While the 19-year-old is not expected to see the floor during preseason, he was able to put shots up during Sunday's shootaround and looked comfortable doing so. The No. 35 overall pick of the 2024 Draft will likely struggle to find significant playing time to begin his career, and he will compete for minutes with Bennedict Mathurin, Kendall Brown and Jarace Walker off the bench.

Furphy is expected to compete for playing time in the second unit, though the Pacers have a plethora of young talent on the wing in Aaron Nesmith, Bennedict Mathurin and Jarace Walker.
