CLEVELAND, Ohio -- George Hill will miss Sunday's game at minimum because of a left ankle sprain suffered in the third quarter of the Cavaliers' win Friday against New Orleans.

The Cavs said Hill and Kyle Korver (sore right foot) were out for the Easter game against Dallas. An MRI confirmed Hill's injury was a sprain.

Hill left the game with 6:22 left in the third after twisting his left ankle going up for a layup and landing awkwardly on his left leg. Jose Calderon took his place and scored five points, but the Cavs outscored the Pelicans by 15 points in Calderon's 14 minutes on the court. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
