Mahinmi took a shot to the head during Wednesday's preseason game and following it, experienced some numbness in his arm, Scott Agness of Vigilant Sports reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi has been dealing with a shoulder injury the past few weeks, but played a combined 32 minutes in the last two preseason games prior to Wednesday. Mahinmi should be close, if not already, recovered from his shoulder injury and he made it clear that the numbness in his arm during Wednesday's game had nothing to do with the shoulder. Mahinmi claims the shot to the head was also nothing serious, so there's a good chance he'll be back on the court and healthy in the Pacers next game Saturday.
