The Indiana Pacers have received some great news heading in to their Game 6 match up against the New York Knicks. George Hill was listed as questionable coming in today as he continues to deal with a concussion, but just a few hours before tip off we learned that Hill had been medically cleared for tonight’s game and he will be in the line up as they look to eliminate the Knicks from the postseason in front of the home crowd.

Hill’s importance can easily be seen on the stat line. When Hill is on the court, the team is shooting 43 percent. Without him, the Pacers shoot 37 percent from the field. His impact is undeniable and he will provide a huge boost for the team tonight.

Here is the official release from the Pacers:
