Pacers' Johnny Furphy: Another absence coming

Furphy (ankle) is out for Friday's game against Cleveland.

Furphy is on the shelf for a ninth game in a row with an ankle sprain. Unless Indiana offers up an update on his health, Furphy can be deemed doubtful for Monday's clash with Detroit. Jarace Walker remains a worthy short-term fantasy option in deep leagues until the Pacers get healthier.
