Jazz's George Hill: Plans to play Thursday vs. 76ers

Hill (toe) plans to play in Thursday's matchup with the 76ers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Hill reportedly went through a strenuous workout Wednesday to test out his toe injury, which he apparently came out of without any issues. He was given a questionable designation earlier Thursday, but it appears that Hill could actually be closer to probable at this point, despite failing to partake in the Jazz's morning shootaround. Final word on Hill's status should come after pregame warmups, but assuming he's available to play, the veteran would likely step back into a starting role at point guard, pushing Shelvin Mack back to the bench.
