Injury-depleted Pacers suffer another big blow as Johnny Furphy tears ACL in right knee

Johnny Furphy tore his ACL driving to the basket in a loss to Toronto, ending his 2025-26 season after averaging 5.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in 34 games, team said.

  • On Monday, the Indiana Pacers announced Johnny Furphy will miss the rest of the 2025-26 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee during Sunday’s 122-104 loss to the Toronto Raptors, with an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery, New York confirming the injury.
  • During Sunday's third quarter, Furphy drove to the basket and dunked, injuring his right knee on the awkward landing as he fell clutching it, then went to the locker room in a wheelchair.
  • Johnny Furphy, in his second year, started 21 of his 35 appearances after taking advantage of earlier absences to make his mark.
  • With the latest loss, the Indiana Pacers have dropped four straight games and sit 13-40, placing them last in the Eastern Conference while Tyrese Haliburton, two-time All-Star guard, remains out for the season.
  • Adding to roster strain, Furphy can look to his older sister Holly Furphy, who overcame a knee injury, while Zubac won't play until he's `really ready`, coach Rick Carlisle said.
