The post Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin get worrisome injury updates appeared first on ClutchPoints .
On Monday, the Indiana Pacers dropped to 0-3 on the young 2025 NBA season with a narrow road loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Pacers have been finding ways to keep things competitive in the first three games of the season but are clearly feeling the effects of not having Tyrese Haliburton in the lineup so far.

Making matters worse is the fact that two of Indiana's key players for this year, Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin , have both already gone down with injury, and on Tuesday, the team got an update on both players that wasn't exactly encouraging.
"Rick Carlisle says Benn Mathurin is going to be 'week to week.' Said he'll have more imaging in Indy. Said Obi Toppin is out at least a month," reported Dustin Dopirak of the Indianapolis Star on X, formerly Twitter.
Mathurin was thought by many to be a most improved player candidate coming into this year, and he got off to a hot start in the Pacers' first game of the year against the Oklahoma City Thunder , but will now have to spend some time on the sidelines due to the injury.
