Pacers' George Hill active vs. Bucks
Greg M. Cooper-USA TODAY Sports
The Indiana Pacers will have point guard George Hill available for Saturday's home game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
However, Pacers head coach Frank Vogel said Hill isn't quite ready to return, and he won't be used unless he's needed.
The 29-year-old's status has been upgraded from questionable to probable after missing the team's last two games with an upper respiratory infection.
Monta Ellis has run the point in Hill's absence, averaging 13.5 points and 7.5 assists with the Pacers going 1-1.
Indiana scores 7.9 points more per 100 possessions with Hill on the floor. He's currently averaging 14 points and 3.7 assists in 36.9 minutes per game (sixth in NBA) over 10 outings for the 7-5 Pacers.
