There has been all kinds of jokes flying Roy Hibbert’s way for a while now, but last night took it even further. He played 17 minutes and had ZERO points and ZERO rebounds. Not only are fans upset, but his teammates are fed up. Hibbert was pulled aside by teammates David West & Rasual Butler, according to a report by the team’s website.

Though the team’s site described West as “fuming” and “as heated as he’s ever been,” all parties declined to comment on the conversation that took place.
West did however tell reporters that the team plans to “keep encouraging” Hibbert and that Hibbert has to “be a part of the fight.”
Pacers star forward Paul George told reporters he wants Hibbert to get more involved.
“We’re at the point where we really need Roy and we need him now,” George said following Monday’s loss.

“I’m going to change some things up for the second game,” said Hibbert, who went 0-for-2 from the field. “I’m going to look within myself and go out there and figure it out.”
