Pacers are hopeful George Hill will play Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard George Hill (personal) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns, according to Indiana coach Frank Vogel.

What It Means:

Hill is still in Indiana dealing with a personal matter, but he could rejoin the team on Tuesday morning. He will be expected to start at point guard if he makes it for the game. This would push Glenn Robinson III back to the bench and shatter the value of Joseph Young.

Hill is averaging 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.9 3-pointers on a 53.6 Effective Field Goal Percentage through 36 games this season. His 2.6 nERD ranks 53rd.
