Ian Mahinmi (face) goes to Pacers' locker room

Indiana Pacers center Ian Mahinmi took an elbow to the face during Monday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers and was forced to go the locker room.

What It Means:

It happened on the first play of the game and there was a lot of blood, but he will likely just get cleaned up in the locker room. For now, he is expected to return.

Mahinmi has the 30th-ranked nERD at 5.6 and is averaging 8.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.
