Bennedict Mathurin’s NBA Summer League cut short by sore toe

We’ve seen the last of Bennedict Mathurin in an Indiana Pacers uniform, at least until the preseason.

The former Arizona Wildcats star guard has been shut down for the remainder of NBA Summer League competition due to a sore left big toe, the Pacers announced Thursday.

Mathurin, who was selected sixth overall in last month’s draft by Indiana, averaged 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in three Summer League games. He shot 51.3 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from 3-point range.

The Pacers have gone 2-1 heading into their final scheduled game Friday against the Washington Wizards.
