September 29 According to Forbes reporter Evan Sidery, there has been no substantial negotiations between the Pacers and Mathering on a long-term early contract renewal, and the team seems to be inclined to make Mathering a restricted free agent after the end of this season.

According to famous reporter Jake Fischer, Mathering is expected to play a bigger role in the team in the new season due to Halliburton's injury. In addition, Mathering hopes to reach an early contract renewal with the Pacers with an annual salary of $20 million to $30 million.

His three shooting percentages were 45.8%, 34% and 83.1% respectively.

Entering the playoffs, Matherin's performance has declined, playing in 22 games in total, and has contributed 11 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.3 blocks per game in 17.4 minutes. The three shooting percentages were 45.9%, 30% and 86.4% respectively.
