Latest News About Bennedict Mathurin Contract

Here’s the latest I can confirm up to now.

• Bennedict Mathurin did not sign a rookie-scale extension by the NBA deadline, so he entered restricted free agency when the season concludes. This means the Pacers can still match any offer sheet he signs with another team, but there’s a real chance he could depart if a compatible offer arrives and Indiana chooses not to or cannot match it.[1]

• Extensions discussions were actively anticipated in 2025, with reports suggesting a potential multi-year deal in the ~$95 million range; however, no finalized extension was reported by the time the deadline passed. Observers noted Mathurin’s rising value but also the Pacers’ luxury-tax considerations that could shape any deal.[3][5]

• After the extension deadline, Mathurin remained a restricted free agent candidate, with public commentary indicating Indiana would either lock him up in future negotiations or watch for other teams’ offers it could match. Local reporting around late October 2025 highlighted his status and the possibility of formal extension talks resuming into 2026.[6]
