EDGE Analysis

Hibbert suffered a sprained ankle during Saturday's contest against the Spurs and was forced to miss Monday's tilt with the Pacers as a result. The injury appears to be minor as the Lakers expect to have Hibbert on Wednesday, but if he's unable to go, Robert Sacre, Brandon Bass, and Tarik Black could all see slightly increased roles.

EDGE Analysis

Hibbert sprained his let ankle against the Spurs on Saturday, and while he's technically still considered questionable, Trudell's report suggests the big man will sit out as the Lakers travel to Indiana to take on his former team. Assuming that's the case, some combination of Brandon Bass, Robert Sacre and Tarik Black would absorb the majority of Hibbert's minutes.

Coach Byron Scott said after morning shootaround that Hibbert (ankle) is still being viewed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Hibbert was on the court for shootaround, Scott was apparently unwilling to give the center clearance to play, so the Lakers will likely wait until closer to pregame warmups to reach a conclusion on the center's status. Even if he's not 100 percent healthy, Hibbert should do everything he can to make sure he's able to play in a matchup against his former team. If the Lakers do opt to play it safe and hold him out, however, the trio of Brandon Bass, Robert Sacre, and Tarik Black would be tasked with filling Hibbert's minutes.

Hibbert (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hibbert's first appearance at Bankers Life Fieldhouse since he was traded from the Pacers to the Lakers this past summer will undoubtedly be anticipated by the home crowd, but it's possible the center won't even be able to suit up after spraining his left ankle in Saturday's loss to the Spurs. The center, who spent seven seasons with the Pacers, will likely try to do everything he can to take the court Monday, though the team trainers may have the final say on whether or not he'll play. If Hibbert ends up getting ruled out, his minutes would likely be filled by some combination of Tarik Black, Robert Sacre, and Brandon Bass.

X-rays on Hibbert's injured left ankle came back negative Saturday, Mark Medina of the L.A Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hibbert left Saturday's game with a left ankle injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest, but he received some positive news with the X-ray results. However, it's unclear at this point if he'll be available for Monday's game against his former team, the Pacers.

Hibbert left Saturday's game with a sprained left ankle and will not return, according to Mike Trudell of TWCSportsNet.

EDGE Analysis

Hibbert, who had two points and two rebounds in eight minutes before departing, is day-to-day leading up to Monday night's game against Indiana.

Hibbert played only 16 minutes in Wednesday's 112-93 loss to the Kings, finishing with six points (3-5 FG), three steals, two rebounds, and one block.

EDGE Analysis

Hibbert was hampered by foul trouble and struggled to contain the Kings' DeMarcus Cousins (36 points, 16 rebounds) even when he was on the court. The Lakers don't have any serious challengers to Hibbert's title as the starting center, but fantasy owners can probably do better than Hibbert, who is averaging a pathetic 6.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks across 25.3 minutes per game this season.
