Grant hill still not playing
The Phoenix Suns tried to stave off elimination against the Spurs on Sunday without the services of swingman Grant Hill, who sat with a groin injury.
Phoenix hosted the Spurs in Game 4 of their Western Conference quarterfinals series on Sunday. San Antonio, up 3-0, tried to complete a four-game sweep.
Hill has struggled with the injury throughout the series, and it has showed in his play. The oft-injured 12-year veteran, who averaged 13.1 points and five rebounds per game this season, scored only 12 points total in the first three games of the series.

Grant Hill won't play in game three
But the Suns didn’t have a healthy Hill while losing the first two playoff games in San Antonio, and likely won’t have him at all for a must-win Game 3 tonight at US Airways Center.
Hill didn’t practice again Thursday and had a precautionary MRI exam, hoping to shed more light on exactly what he’s dealing with. But he hasn’t been able to go 100 percent since over-striding during a fast break attempt 10 days ago against Golden State. His abdominal/groin problems are no better.
Shooting is painful for Hill. So are running, moving laterally and any other quick reactions.
Coach Mike D’Antoni said Hill won’t play tonight in Game 3 unless he is 100 percent, which is exactly what he said before Hill pronounced himself ready an hour before tipoff in Game 2. [East Valley Tribune]
