The Indiana Pacers missed Bennedict Mathurin big-time after he missed 11 games early in the season due to a toe injury. Fortunately for them, they finally got him back on Monday night against the Detroit Pistons, and he did not disappoint.

In the loss, the Canadian native recorded 25 points (23 in the second half alone) on 7-for-16 shooting, three rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 25 minutes.
