Hill (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Golden State.

Analysis:

Hill's absence is set to drag on for the third game of Indiana's four-game road swing, as he continues to miss time to tend to a personal matter. There's no word on whether Hill will even join the team in the near future, so his status for Saturday's game in Sacramento could be up in the air as well. Given that Rodney Stuckey (ankle) is also out Friday, Monta Ellis figures to slot in at point guard, while Glenn Robinson makes another start at shooting guard.
