2013 NBA Summer League. On December 29, 2013, he was assigned to the
Fort Wayne Mad Ants. On January 4, 2014, he was recalled by the Pacers. On April 16, 2014, in the final regular season game, he played a season-high 28 minutes and pulled down a career-best five rebounds to go with five points on 2-for-6 shooting (1–2 3FG) in a win over the
Orlando Magic. He appeared in 28 games during the 2013–14 regular season, posting averages of 1.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game. An off-season right ankle injury forced Hill to miss the
2014 NBA Summer League. On October 9, 2014, the Pacers exercised their third-year team option on Hill's rookie scale contract, extending the contract through the 2015–16 season. On November 8, 2014, he scored a career-high 28 points in a 97–90 loss to the
