Mahinmi (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game in New Orleans.

Analysis:

While the Pacers may not want to rush Mahinmi back for the final game before the All-Star break, the center's 'questionable' designation is a good sign for his chances to play in Indiana's first post-break contest. With Mahinmi and Lavoy Allen (knee) missing the last few games, the extra minutes have mostly gone to Roy Hibbert, Luis Scola and Shayne Whittington.
