Furphy logged his 10th appearance with the Mad Ants, averaging 14.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and one block on 45.2% shooting from the field. He has scored in double figures seven times and registered three double-doubles.
The 20-year-old has spent much of the season with the Pacers, though he has played sparingly; he has only played more than 10 minutes once in 2025. The team expected Furphy would be in the G League but has kept him around for depth and learning purposes.
The organization is high on his potential and believes he can eventually step in and contribute. He has showcased his ability at a high level with the Mad Ants and has offered a glimpse of the production he can bring on a nightly basis.
