The Indiana Pacers’ injury issues grew more serious Monday, with the team announcing that second-year forward Johnny Furphy has torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee.
Furphy is expected to miss the rest of the season, the Pacers said.
Another setback for an injury-hit roster
The update marks another blow for a Pacers team that has already been dealing with a depleted lineup. Furphy’s absence further thins Indiana’s forward depth as the season continues.
No additional details were provided in the announcement beyond the diagnosis and the expectation that Furphy will be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.
