Indiana Pacers point guard George Hill would like to laugh off his injury because he knows he’ll be back in the lineup at some point.

But Hill can’t laugh.

His hip pointer makes laughing an unpleasant experience. The same goes with a simple cough.

Hill’s hip pointer, combined with an injured left thumb, has left him on the sidelines the entire preseason.

He acknowledges he’s frustrated but he also tries to look at the big picture; the injuries didn’t happen during the regular season.
