George Hill (concussion) played 42 minutes in Saturday's series-clinching victory, scoring 12 points with five rebounds and four assists.
Hill suffered his concussion during Game 5 on Thursday, but he cleared the NBA's rigorous post-concussion protocol very quickly. He shot just 2-of-10 from the field, but as usual he made his free throws (7-of-7), played strong defense, and committed just one turnover -- he boasted a 2.8 assist-to-turnover ratio this season, ahead of Deron Williams and just behind Rajon Rondo and Greivis Vasquez.

George Hill (concussion) has been cleared to play in Game 6 on Saturday and will start with no limitations.

He remained symptom-free the whole way following the NBA's Return-to Participation Exertion Protocol and team physicians cleared him to play tonight. The Pacers were a different team with Hill out in Game 5, shooting 36.2 percent from the field while not taking care of the ball with 19 turnovers. D.J. Augustin will move back to the the bench.

George Hill - G - Pacers

George Hill (concussion) will be a game-time decision Saturday night against the Knicks.

Hill was going through the on-court exertion part of the league's concussion protocol Saturday afternoon. He'll have to pass all levels of the test before being cleared to return to game action. The Pacers clearly missed in Thursday's Game 5 loss to the Knicks and a return could help Indiana close out the series at home. If Hill isn't cleared, D.J. Augustin will start and be in line for major minutes.

George Hill remains day-to-day with a concussion.

Hill missed Thursday's Game 5 after suffering the injury Tuesday night. The Pacers said Hill showed no symptoms after Tuesday's game but admitted to headaches on Thursday and then proceeded to fail a concussion test. Hill will have to pass several levels of concussion testing as part of the league's protocol before he can return. The Pacers lead the series 3-2 and will host Game 6 on Saturday night.

George Hill will miss Thursday's Game 5 vs. the Knicks with a concussion.

Hill apparently suffered the injury during Tuesday's game, which is pretty amazing considering Pacers coach Frank Vogel called Hill's Game 4 performance "spectacular." The timing and the specific injury couldn't be worse for Indiana and Hill for a couple reasons. First, the NBA's post-concussion protocol is very strict and it's unlikely Hill will be able to pass it in time for Game 6, if there is one. Secondly, Hill is a very big part of the Pacers' gameplan and his absence could be just the break the Knicks need to stave off elimination. D.J. Augustin will likely start in Hill's place.

Pacers coach Frank Vogel showered George Hill with praise after Game 4, saying Hill was "spectacular."

"Maybe the best game I ever saw him play," Vogel said. He was really great defensively, getting every loose ball and keeping his guy in front and challenging him and making all the winning plays." Hill was critical in the Pacers' win, scoring 26 points to go along with three boards and four assists.

George Hill hit 9-of-14 shots and two 3-pointers on his way to 26 points, three boards and four assists in Tuesday's easy 93-82 Game 4 win over the Knicks to take a 3-1 lead over the Knicks.

Hill was awesome tonight, as Pablo Prigioni sat on the Knicks' bench and Jason Kidd struggled mightily in the loss. The Pacers' defense has been fairly dominant against the Knicks, who now have to win Game 5 in New York in order to extend the series.

George Hill (elbow, groin) was held out of practice as a precaution Friday.

Hill watched the session to avoid any unnecessary hits on his banged-up body. He will start in Saturday's Game 3 and should have plenty of confidence. Hill ate up Jeff Teague to the tune of 22 points and four 3-pointers in the Game 2 win.

George Hill had 22 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals and four 3-pointers on 7-of-12 shooting as the Pacers beat the Hawks 113-98 in Wednesday's Game 2 win.

Hill outplayed Jeff Teague tonight, despite being a little iffy with a hip injury suffered in Game 1 on Sunday. Hill looked fantastic, and there's a reason the Pacers wanted him, and not Darren Collison, to run the team's offense.

George Hill aggravated his hip injury in Sunday's Game 1 win, but he's not expected to miss any time.

Hill has "blocked out the pain" since injuring it on March 23, and he admitted that he's not going to be 100 percent healthy until after the playoffs conclude. "If it happens, it happens; if it hurts, it hurts," he said. "I treat it as an out-of-sight, out-of-mind sort of thing."

George Hill shot 7-of-10 from the field against the Hawks on Sunday for 18 points to go with three boards, two assists and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

He was getting open looks from all over the floor and none of his seven shots came from within five feet of the basket. Hill was dealing with a groin issue for the past week or so, but he looked to be close to 100 percent after getting a week off.

George Hill said he is not worried about his groin injury.

Hill sat out the end of Friday's practice at the request of team trainers, but he appears set to start Sunday's Game 1 against the Hawks. The starting point guard rested in the regular-season finale, giving him plenty of down time. Hill set career-highs in points (14.2), assists (4.7), rebounds (3.7), steals (1.1) and 3-pointers (1.7) this year.

George Hill (groin, rest) will not play in the final two games of the regular season.

This confirms our suspicion and it makes sense with the Pacers locked into the No. 3 seed in the East. D.J. Augustin will start at PG and makes for a nice pickup if you're trolling the waiver wire for a cheap source of 3-pointers and assists.

George Hill - G - Pacers

George Hill shot 2-of-8 from the field in Sunday's loss to the Knicks for six points with three boards, five assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

The Pacers are now locked in to the third seed for the Eastern Confernce and there's a high probability that we've seen the last of George Hill in the regular season. Hill said he's been dealing with his groin issue and wanted to play with the team needing him, but with nothing to play for, there's little incentive to trot him out there. D.J. Augustin makes a lot of sense as a pickup.

George Hill - G - Pacers

George Hill (groin) is starting against the Knicks on Sunday.

It's a mild surprise after the Pacers said that they were contemplating resting Hill for the rest of the season. The Pacers are still holding out hope that they can sneak in and get the two seed and they also could be afraid of falling apart and slipping to the four seed with Brooklyn leapfrogging them. Hill is a risky play in most leagues and those that picked up D.J. Augustin for today have to be disappointed.
