The Indiana Pacers have lost three of their last four as they begin a four-game road trip against Western Conference foes. Things won’t get much easier even after they return to the friendly confines of The Fieldhouse, as the Los Angeles Clipper and Atlanta Hawks come to town.
So it very bad news that they will be without three key players, including starters George Hill and Ian Mahinmi, as they head up the mountain to play at elevation in Denver against a Nuggets team that recently beat the Golden State Warriors.
According to Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star, George Hill is not with the team due to a personal situation, Ian Mahinmi will sit out with a sore left heel, and Rodney Stuckey is still far from returning to the court due to an ankle injury that is expected to keep him out for at least another 10 days.
