Vogel: Hibbert’s Role May be Reduced Next Year

“We assume he’s (Roy Hibbert) going to be back and if he comes back, we’re probably going to play another style,” said Pacers President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird. “And I can’t guarantee him anything. He’s going to have to earn it.”

When asked if Hibbert would be benched next year as Indiana pushes for a quicker pace, (Frank) Vogel responded: “Yeah, potentially.

“We’ll have to see how it all plays out and what the roster ultimately looks like, but there’s a possibility that Roy’s role will be diminished, if we’re trying to play faster and trying to play smaller,” Vogel said.
