Cavs' Hill available for Game 7 after missing last 3 games
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue announced Sunday that point guard George Hill will be available for Game 7 against the Indiana Pacers, according to Cleveland.com's Joe Gabriele.
Hill, who was was previously listed as questionable, did not start after missing the last three contests with a back injury. Jose Calderon had been starting in his stead, but was relegated to the bench as well as Lue went with a starting lineup of Kyle Korver, J.R. Smith, LeBron James, Tristan Thompson, and Kevin Love.

Hill, who joined Cleveland in a midseason trade, averaged 8.7 points, 1.7 assists, and 1.3 rebounds in the first three playoff games.
Without the veteran floor general, the No. 4 Cavs won two in a row before dropping the ball in what could've been a closeout victory. Coming off an embarrassing 34-point loss in Game 6, Cleveland hosts a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday afternoon.
The winner will advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where the Toronto Raptors await.
