Career Journey
Indiana Pacers
2024-present
2024 second-round pick (No. 35)
Indiana traded up one spot with San Antonio to draft the Australian wing out of Kansas, where he made the Big 12 All-Freshman team.
Year-two growth
Averaged 5.1 points and 4.4 rebounds over 35 games in 2025-26, up from 2.1 points as a rookie.
Season-ending ACL injury
Suffered a torn right ACL that ended his 2025-26 season after 35 appearances.
| Season | GP | PPG | RPG | APG | FG% | 3P% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-26 | 35 | 5.1 | 4.4 | 1.2 | 47.0% | 32.4% |
Furphy is a long-view developmental bet who took a real step before injury interrupted it. The Melbourne native and NBA Academy product spent one year at Kansas, earned Big 12 All-Freshman honors, and slid to Indiana at No. 35 in 2024 — the Pacers traded up a slot to grab him. His rookie year was mostly G League shuttle work (2.1 points over 50 games). Year two showed the growth: 5.1 points and 4.4 rebounds across 35 games, the rebounding rate flagging a wing who competes bigger than his frame. Then a torn right ACL ended his 2025-26 season early. He enters the offseason rehabbing, his development timeline reset but the flashes — size, motor, feel on the wing — still intact.
