While angling for a rebound, the Bulls' Kurt Thomas inadvertently elbowed Hansbrough in the left temple area. Hansbrough was dazed, but didn't appear to have lost consciousness.
After passing a set of preliminary concussion tests off-court, however, Hansbrough was cleared to return to action. He’s been instrumental for the Pacers on Saturday, as his 15 points have helped them build a surprising lead over the top-seed Bulls.
