The Pacers hope to bolster their defense by having Ian Mahinmi available on Tuesday night but his ankle will keep him a game-time decision at best.
The Pacers recalled Shayne Whittingon from the D-League on Monday which on the surface appeared to be bad news for the injury status of Ian Mahinmi. The Pacers starting center sat out most of the team's practice on Monday but Frank Vogel held out hope that Mahinmi would be able to give it a go on Tuesday night when the Pacers host the Clippers, claiming there was a 50 percent chance he'll play.
