Mahinmi was dealing with significant swelling on his sprained left ankle after Tuesday's win over the Suns, Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi needed assistance in getting to the locker room after suffering the injury in Tuesday's contest, and was limited to just 11 minutes on the evening. He'll have the next two days to rest up and recover from the injury, but if Mahinmi isn't ready to play in Friday's game against the Suns, Myles Turner would likely receive the starting nod at center.
