Mahinmi (ankle) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Warriors, Candace Buckner of Indy Star Sports reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi suffered a sprained ankle during Tuesday's game against the Suns and is experiencing some significant swelling. He'll sit out of Friday's matchup with the Warriors in order to further recover from the injury. With Mahinmi on the sideline, look for Myles Turner to move into the starting lineup in his place, while Jordan Hill and LaVoy Allen could see extended minutes in the frontcourt as well. Mahinmi's next opportunity to return will be Saturday's outing with the Kings.
