The NBA has upgraded Ian Mahinmi's Game 1 foul on LeBron James to a flagrant-one.
In the fourth quarter, James was going up for an easy layup when Mahinmi grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground. At the time, it was only called a common foul. If the flagrant had been whistled, the Heat would have gotten two free throws and the ball. Meanwhile, Shane Battier's knee to the groin of Roy Hibbert was not upgraded to a flagrant.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi has reassumed backup center duties, replacing Jeff Pendergraph.

Pendergraph had temporarily taken over, but Mahinmi is back in the rotation because of his defense. This is extremely unlikely to impact your fantasy roster or playoff league regardless of how far Indiana advances.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi is now behind Jeff Pendergraph in the rotation.

"Ian has struggled a bit with his shooting and turnovers," Frank Vogel said. Meanwhile, Pendergraph's energy off the bench has been contagious, and it doesn't look like Mahinmi will get to back up Roy Hibbert at any point soon with the Pacers up 2-0 in their series.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi had two points and two rebounds in his return to action Friday night.

Mahinmi is purely a backup to starter Roy Hibbert and has no fantasy value barring injury.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi (illness) is expected to play on Friday.

Mahinmi didn't practice on Thursday because of a stomach bug, but it was never considered serious and he'll play his usual role vs. Brooklyn.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi has a stomach bug and was held out of practice Thursday.

Mahinmi is expected to be alright in time for Friday's game against Brooklyn. As Roy Hibbert's backup, Mahinmi has very minimal fantasy value so this news is more of an FYI than anything else.

Ian Mahinmi has a right shoulder contusion and was held out of practice Wednesday as a precaution.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi injured his shoulder in the first half of Monday's game and went to the locker room.

He went back with the training staff, and he finished the game with no points, three rebounds and a steal in just under 14 minutes. Jeff Pendergraph would back up Roy Hibbert if Mahinmi is forced to miss any time.

Ian Mahinmi's sore knee is "fine" and he is available to play vs. Miami on Sunday.

The Heat roll out plenty of small lineups, so Mahinmi may not have a big role, but at least he's healthy enough to play. Indiana's backup center is quietly averaging 5.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.9 blocks this season.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi is listed as day-to-day with a sore right knee.

He played 14 minutes on Friday, which is just a hair below his season of average 16.9 minutes per game. He only scored seven points even when Roy Hibbert was suspended last week, so he's not on the radar in any league.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi will start in place of the suspended Roy Hibbert against the Clippers on Thursday.

Mahinmi is a decent fill-in for the Pacers, but he's only worth a spot start in deeper leagues. Jeff Pendergraph will also see time off the bench. Hibbert will return from his suspension Friday in Toronto.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi (illness) returned to action on Monday, scoring four points with two rebounds and one block in 15 minutes off the bench.

Mahinmi has some talent but he will have no real fantasy value unless something happens to Roy Hibbert or David West.

Ian Mahinmi (illness) practiced with the team on Sunday.

He left Friday's game with a stomach problem and all signs point to him being ready to go against the Grizzlies. He won't have value in almost all fantasy leagues while Roy Hibbert is healthy.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi had five points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks off the bench on Saturday, while playing the entire fourth quarter in place of Roy Hibbert (back).

Hibbert's injury may have been the cause of his benching, but Mahinmi's play more than justified the decision. The Pacers allow an NBA-low 89.1 points per game and their unheralded backup center is a big reason why, since there's minimal dropoff when Hibbert leaves the floor. For now, however, he's only worth fantasy attention in very deep leagues.

Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Pacers

Ian Mahinmi filled in for the injured Roy Hibbert (back spasms) in Thursday's 81-76 win over the Knicks, scoring 13 points with six rebounds in 20 minutes.

Hibbert (four points, three rebounds and two blocks) could miss Saturday's game against the Bobcats because he had to exit the game twice on Thursday. Mahinmi played well and even hit a pair of mid-range jumpers as part of his 6-of-7 shooting performance. He could be useful, but his tendency to foul makes him someone that should only be added speculatively in very deep leagues.
