Pacers' Johnny Furphy: Out Monday
Rotowire
Furphy (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports.
Furphy was deemed available to return after spraining his ankle during Sunday's win over the Wizards, but he'll be sidelined for the second half of Indiana's back-to-back set. With Andrew Nembhard (knee), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Ben Sheppard (oblique) all out, Furphy had worked his way into the rotation, so in the rookie's absence, T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker are candidates for a few extra minutes.

Pacers' Johnny Furphy: Injures ankle Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Furphy sustained a left ankle injury in Sunday's 115-103 win over the Wizards, but the Pacers don't yet know the severity of the issue, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Furphy checked out of the game with 52 seconds remaining in the third quarter and made a trip to the locker room to get his ankle checked out. Though Furphy returned to the bench with ice on his injured ankle and was available to play, Carlisle never subbed the rookie back into the game during the final quarter. Furphy, who finished Sunday's game with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one assist in 11 minutes, looks iffy for Monday's contest against the Pelicans.
