Pacers' Hill out Friday with sore groin

Five games after his delayed season debut, Indiana Pacers point guard George Hill will once again be sidelined.

Hill, who missed the first 28 games of the season with left knee and quadriceps injuries, has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a sore groin.

Hill is averaging 14.2 points, four rebounds and 2.4 assists for the 12-21 Pacers, who have been dealing with a variety of injuries to key players all season.

Fellow guard C.J. Watson is questionable for Friday's game with a left foot injury, meaning the Pacers may have to turn to Donald Sloan again in a starting capacity.
