While a few veteran players have been unable to play lately, a trio of young Pacers have seized the opportunity to play.
The Pacers have missed the veteran presence of Rodney Stuckey, George Hill and Ian Mahinmi at various points in the games they've missed recently.
Stuckey (foot) and Mahinmi (ankle) have injuries which may keep them in and out of action the rest of the season. George Hill has been tending to personal issues, which in the context of the NBA season is a good thing. While he's surely dealing with mental strain, his body has had a chance to rest for several days.
