Darren Collison (groin) is inactive for Tuesday's game against the Sixers. Collison was close enough to test his injury out in the pregame, but he was not pain-free. New starter George Hill is in for 30-plus minutes, as expected. A.J. Price is the backup.

Darren Collison (groin) has already been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Sixers. Collison played just 19 minutes on Monday before being forced to leave the game. He'll miss Tuesday's game "and possibly longer" due to his bothersome groin, and there is no clear timetable for his return. "He doesn't have his explosiveness," said Frank Vogel. George Hill should be owned in all formats, and the Pacers are 5-0 when he is starting.

Darren Collison's return to action was short lived after logging 19 minutes on Monday, as he will be shut down indefinitely due to his lingering groin injury. Collison missed both of his field goal attempts, finishing with zero points, three rebounds, and two assists. This is a classic case of a player not wanting to be "pipped" and rushing back from injury too early -- and it's a situation Frank Vogel should have sniffed out. George Hill (11 points, three rebounds, four assists) should be owned in all formats.

George Hill is listed as the starting point guard for Monday's game against the Wolves. Nothing is official yet, but it looks like the Indianapolis Star doesn't expect Darren Collison (groin) to return. He's simply listed as day-to-day. Hill has averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds in his four starts this season, leading the Pacers to four straight wins.

Darren Collison will not play again on Saturday due to his groin injury. Collison, who is day-to-day, has now missed four straight games and George Hill remains a must-start for as long as Collison is out.

Darren Collison (groin) has been ruled out for the Pacers game on Friday against the Cavaliers. With DC out, George Hill needs to be owned and started in all leagues. Hill is averaging 17.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 threes over his last two games as a starter.

Darren Collison (groin) is uncertain to play on Friday against the Cavs. There was a previous report that Collison could have played on Wednesday if he had to, but he is still listed as day-to-day and "might sit out a third consecutive game" on Friday. "I talked to the trainers; they said they thought he'd be ready by now, but he's got some discomfort in there," Frank Vogel said. "As long as that is present, we'll probably rest him." George Hill would start in Collison's place again and would be a must-start for owners, as he's averaging 17.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 treys over the last two games as a starter.

Darren Collison (groin) could have played on Wednesday. Collison is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday, and the Pacers were exercising caution with the injury. There is no reason to rush him back with George Hill playing well, and it's clear the groin issue is of the minor variety. Collison went through shootaround on Wednesday, and barring a setback, we expect to see him back on the floor on Friday.

Darren Collison (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's Pacers game against the Cavs. Collison will miss his second straight game, but head coach Frank Vogel said he expects him to play Friday. "Darren went through shootaround and I thought he would be able to go tonight, but he's still a little tender," said Vogel. George Hill will get another start and is one the better backup PGs in the league. He's definitely a viable play in most leagues if you are looking for a guard to plug into your Wednesday lineups.
