Pacers rookie forward Tyler Hansbrough will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks with a lingering shin injury.

Hansbrough isn't expected to miss anything other than offseason conditioning and some individual drills. Indiana isn't scheduled to open training camp until late September.

The forward was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right shin in October of 2008. It caused him to miss four of the first six games of his senior season.
