Brandon Rush and Tyler Hansbrough will miss the Indiana Pacers' game against the New Jersey Nets on Friday night.

Hansbrough, who has started the past 10 games, is out with pneumonia. The forward is averaging 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 47 percent from the field. He scored a career-high 27 points on Jan. 23 at Denver.

Rush is out with a sprained right ankle. He was hurt in the third quarter of Wednesday's loss to Orlando. His minutes had been dwindling recently, and he only played three minutes before leaving the game against the Magic. He averages 10.9 points per game and is shooting 42 percent from 3-point range.
