Pacers' Mahinmi, Miles won't play vs. Celtics

Coming off their first win of the season, the Indiana Pacers will play without 40 percent of their usual starting lineup Wednesday night when they host the Boston Celtics.

Center Ian Mahinmi and swingman C.J. Miles will both sit out with injuries. Mahinmi left Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Pistons in the first quarter with a sore lower back, and didn't return. Pistons center Andre Drummond went on to score 25 points and haul in a career-high 29 rebounds.

Miles has been dealing with a sore right ankle, and though he suited up for the last two games, he struggled badly, shooting just 3-of-18 from the field. He sprained the ankle at the end of March last season.
