    Hansbrough could miss 2 months

    INDIANAPOLIS — Tyler Hansbrough could miss up to two months with a right shin injury, but the Indiana Pacers believe their first-round draft pick will be healthy enough for the start of the season.

    The Pacers did not provide details of the injury Friday other than to say the 6-foot-9 forward is expected to miss six to eight weeks ahead of the season. The NBA regular season begins Oct. 27.

    Indiana said Hansbrough hurt the shin last season, his final year at North Carolina.

    The Pacers took Hansbrough at No. 13 overall in last month’s draft and signed him to a three-year contract.

    Hansbrough led the Tar Heels to the national championship last season and finished his career as the ACC’s career scoring leader.

    His rookie season will definitely be subpar but thing is I am looking and wondering where would he have played because Indiana is deep at power forward.

    I dont think he will mis the beggening of his first season. If it gets bad, he will just chop it off and play with one leg. JK I dont like Tyler but you have to give it to the guy, he is crazy and wont accept being injured as a reason to sit.

    Take that Larry Bird. You should have drafted Mullens.
