Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, the team announced on Saturday.
The 21-year-old was averaging 14.5 points per game off the bench this season. Mathurin sustained the injury during a 137-120 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, which saw him score 19 points in 25 minutes.
He was initially expected to be out for three or four games before the diagnosis, with head coach Rick Carlisle telling reporters on Thursday that there was hope the injury would be short term.
