Pacers' Monta Ellis: Exits early Saturday

Ellis will not play in the second half of Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a sore groin.

Analysis:

Ellis scored 10 points over 19 first-half minute, but his night will end early due to his injury. The severity of his setback is not certain, so it remains to be seen if he will be available for the Pacers' next game Monday against the Hornets.
