Mahinmi (ribs) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, the Pacers' official site reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi's bruised left rib leaves him "unavailable," according to coach Frank Vogel, which places the onus on Andrew Bynum to handle the reserve minutes at center. The injury comes at a most inopportune time, as Bynum could usurp Mahinmi in the pecking order and push him out of the rotation.
