It's looking like the Pacers are not signing Bennedict Mathurin to a contract extension before the season.
Scott Agness of the Fieldhouse Files does not expect the Indiana Pacers to sign Bennedict Mathurin to a contract extension this summer, meaning he is likely headed for restricted free agency in 2026 (h/t The Athletic NBA Daily).
"I would not expect [Mathurin] to get an extension before the season," Agness said. "I think both sides, it's probably better off for them to play it in, because if you're Benn, you're saying 'hey look, I'm probably not getting a max right now.
