ESPN's Dave McMenamin and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will start Jose Calderon at point guard for Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers, the team announced Sunday.
Calderon will take over for George Hill, who was ruled out of the game with back spasms.
Hill was initially hurt in Game 1 of the first-round series when Trevor Booker set a back screen on him.
Hill felt stiffness in his back between Games 1 and 2. He felt well enough to score 11 points in the first half of the Cavs' 92-90 Game 3 loss to the Pacers before his back "locked up," according to coach Tyronn Lue.
Lue said Sunday he's not sure if Hill would be ready for Game 5 on Wednesday.
Calderon started 32 games for the Cavs during the regular season. He scored five points in 14 minutes in the Cavs' Game 2 victory, but he did not play in Game 3.
Tristan Thompson also should see more playing time Sunday after logging 1 minute, 59 seconds in the first three games.
The Pacers have a 2-1 lead in the series.
