Mahinmi fills in nicely with 13 points
Ian Mahinmi - F/C - Indiana Pacers
Jan. 11, 2013 - 1:35 AM ET

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.
