Mahinmi (back) remains day-to-day, but isn't expected to play Wednesday against the Nets, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Mahinmi is still battling soreness in his lower back, which has kept him out of each of the last two games. Taylor's report intimates that the Pacers haven't formally ruled Mahinmi out for Wednesday's game, though he notes that Friday's game against Atlanta looks like the more realistic possibility. Jordan Hill is expected to continue to start so long as Mahinmi remains out.
