Bennedict Mathurin Questionable Versus Charlotte

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) is questionable against the visiting Charlotte Hornets.

However, if the shoulder soreness keeps him out, Chris Duarte, […]

Jalen Smith Questionable Against The Hornets

Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (hand) is questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Hornets. He didn't play on Friday versus the Portland Trail Blazers because of hand soreness and didn't practice on Saturday, so things aren't looking favorable.

Buddy Hield Knocks Down Six Treys Against Hawks
