Johnny Furphy’s ACL Recovery Update | Indiana Pacers News

Johnny Furphy’s ACL tear in February was a major setback for the Pacers’ young rising star, but his recovery is looking strong. GM Chad Buchanan reports Furphy’s moving well, shooting, and even looks ready to play — though he’s not quite there yet. Before the injury, Furphy was thriving: averaging 5 points and 4 rebounds in 35 games, starting 21, with solid inside shooting and improving from deep. While his free throws need work, his upside — especially defensively and in small-ball lineups — makes him a key piece for the Pacers’ future, even if he’s not back for the playoffs.
