Mahinmi is listed as day-to-day due to a bruised left rib, the Pacers' official site reports.

Analysis:

As the primary backup to Roy Hibbert, Mahinmi gathers most of the minutes remaining at center. Mahinmi's post-break line doesn't impress outside of defensive counting stats -- he's averaging four points (on 48.5 percent shooting), 3.1 boards, 1.3 swats, and 0.8 steals in 16.8 minutes during that stretch -- but the potential activation of Andrew Bynum in the near future could eat into Mahinmi's typical workload.
