 Roy Hibbert-C- PacersFeb. 2 - 9:51 pm et
Roy Hibbert was back in the Pacers starting lineup on Tuesday, posting 18 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one block. As usual, he picked up five fouls in his 29 minutes.
The Pacers have been going small lately, bringing Hibbert off the bench, but that would have forced Danny Granger to defend Chris Bosh. He made 7-of-12 FGs and 4-of-4 FTs and looked sharp tonight as the Pacers racked up 130 points, but coach Jim O'Brien is committed to his matchup-based floating rotation.

Coach Jim O'Brien will miss Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to a death in the family.
Lester Conner will temporarily take over coaching duties, which probably makes some of the players happy.

 Jeff Foster-F/C - Pacers Feb. 1 - 9:45 am et  

Multiple sources have reported that Pacers big man Jeff Foster will need season-ending surgery on his injured back.
Foster's absence is a tough blow for Indiana, but it opens up minutes for young players Roy Hibbert and Tyler Hansbrough (still out with an ear infection). The Nuggets had been pursuing Foster but this obviously puts an end to that.

 Roy Hibbert-C - Pacers Jan. 31 - 9:09 pm et

Roy Hibbert moved to a bench role on Sunday in lieu of Troy Murphy (14 points, eight rebounds, 31 minutes), and still managed to commit five fouls in a 12-point, four-rebound, and two-assist performance in 20 minutes.
Clearly coach Jim O'Brien does not like Hibbert in the starting lineup, and doesn't like the "big lineup" in general. We don't know how this improves Hibbert as a player, since he has little incentive to stay out of foul trouble, but he's going to be even more inconsistent than he was as a starter.
 Troy Murphy-F/C - Pacers Jan. 31 - 8:08 pm et  

Coach Jim O'Brien said that Troy Murphy will likely start the majority of games at center, with Roy Hibbert coming off the bench.
This really doesn't affect either player too much, since Hibbert can barely stay on the court in his bout with foul trouble, and Murphy will post similar numbers regardless of whether he starts or not.

 Roy Hibbert-C - Pacers Jan. 29 - 9:40 pm et

Roy Hibbert struggled with foul trouble as usual on Friday, scoring just four points on 2-of-9 shooting with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal before fouling out.
He got the start with Troy Murphy (10 points, four rebounds, 27 minutes) going to the bench, but neither player did anything to make the lineup combination memorable as the Pacers fell by 21 points. Until Hibbert gets his fouling problem under control, owners shouldn't be surprised by these outings.
