Hibbert’s History

Roy Hibbert is a two-time All-Star and one-time All-Defensive Second Teamer. Or, more accurately, he was a two-time All-Star and one-time All-Defensive Second Teamer. Hibbert has regressed from his former glory days as a defensive stopper and anchor of a great Indiana Pacers defense.

Since leaving Indiana after an abysmal 2014 playoffs with the Pacers, Hibbert has bounced around a bit. He played the 2015-16 season with the Los Angeles Lakers and was both less effective and got less minutes to play in, and those trends both continued when Hibbert arrived in Charlotte last summer.

On Opening Night of the 2016-17 NBA Season, it looked like Hibbert was snapping back to his previous form. He dominated the Bucks, putting up 15 points, 10 rebounds, five blocks and three assists in a nice Charlotte win.

Unfortunately for Hibbert, one of his knees swelled right after the game. According to the Charlotte Observer, he hasn’t been fully healthy this season since then. Whether that’s been the Hornets pushing Hibbert to play or Hibbert himself wanting to prove himself in a contract year, it would likely be for the best if the big man had a chance to recover.
