Cavs' Hill sits, Calderon starts in Game 4 vs. Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard George Hill won't play in Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday due to back spasms, head coach Tyronn Lue announced.

Jose Calderon drew the start in his stead.

Hill has struggled to make an impact offensively in the series, attempting just 16 shots and totaling just five assists (compared to six turnovers) through three games. He's shot well, though, hitting nine of those 16 field goals, and he's also arguably the Cavs' best on-ball defensive option for Victor Oladipo.

Calderon has played 23 minutes in the series so far, scoring five points on 2-of-7 shooting, and committing three turnovers against just one assist. The Cavs have been outscored by 12 points in those 23 minutes, and Calderon did not see the floor in Game 3.

Cleveland is trying to level the first-round series at two games apiece.
