Mahinmi (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi has been dealing with an ankle injury since last week, but he was able to participate in shootaround Tuesday morning, foreshadowing a potential return after he missed the previous two games. In the event Mahinmi is held out, Jordan Hill would likely serve as the fill-in starter at center after putting up 17 points and 13 rebounds in Saturday's loss to the Kings.
