If the Indiana Pacers' season wasn't already weird enough, the starters were given the day off on Tuesday, while the reserves went through a normal practice. Maybe this has happened before, but we're not aware of it. Roy Hibbert is actually at practice and watching in street clothes, while the no-namers do work on the court. If there was already dissension amongst teammates, it would make sense that the bench players might be angry that they had to work today while the regulars got a day off. The Pacers collapse has been pretty epic thus far, but we may not have seen the worst of it yet. Especially if they end up losing in the first round of the playoffs.

Pacers coach Frank Vogel suggested that he benched Roy Hibbert for the second half on Sunday because the starting center "looked worn down." "I considered resting Roy before tonight's game because he looks worn down," Vogel said, before repeating the phrase a few more times for emphasis. Paul George suggested that the benching was matchup-based, as Hibbert had a tough time following Pero Antic around the perimeter, but either way Hibbert looked upset and distant while sitting at the end of the Pacers' bench. He should resume his usual role vs. Zaza Pachulia and the Bucks on Wednesday, but after Sunday's meltdown we'll be keeping a very close eye on Indy's rotations.

Roy Hibbert passed a concussion test after an injury to his neck on Wednesday, finishing with 11 points, three boards, three assists and two blocks. He hurt himself in the first quarter and still was able to get a decent chunk of playing time. Hibbert has really looked lost on offense and now the team has a legitimate reason to sit him to get ready for the playoffs. Interestingly, the Pacers don't have a single back-to-back set the rest of the way.

Roy Hibbert (neck) returned to action for the second half of Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Hibbert gave the Pacers a scare when he went to the locker room following a hard foul from Charlie Villanueva. But he started the second half and tossed in a jump hook early on. Hibbert shouldn't be affected going forward.

Roy Hibbert (sore neck) went to the locker room in the first quarter after a fall while posting up Charlie Villanueva on Wednesday and is questionable to return. Villanueva was charged with a flagrant-1 foul and Hibbert laid on the ground for a couple minutes. He was shaking his hands quite a bit, so his sore neck may have affected his arms. The good news is that he did shoot the free throws. Stay tuned. Ian Mahinmi would step in should Hibbert miss time.

Roy Hibbert scored 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting (5-of-6 FTs) with seven rebounds and zero steals or blocks in the Pacers' 103-77 loss to the Spurs on Monday. Hibbert's line is extremely misleading as he was manhandled on both sides of the floor and many of his makes looked like desperation heaves. The bottom line is that this team is a total mess and their fantasy value will be on a string (unlike their defense). George Hill stood and watched to a fault and finished with seven points, zero assists, one block and one three, and David West avoided contact and had seven points, eight rebounds, and no steals or blocks. Lance Stephenson was the least terrible of them with 15 points, three treys, three boards and three assists, and Paul George looked lost but dominated the ball with 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting, six boards, five assists, three steals and a three.

Roy Hibbert said after Friday's loss that the Pacers have "some selfish dudes" on their team, and he lamented his team's lack of ball movement. "We've got to move the ball," Hibbert said. "I'm really trying hard not to spaz out right now, but I don't know ... I'm not handling the rock ... It directly affects me and the bigs. We're just out there and it makes us look bad." His complaint is supported by the Pacers' 26th-ranked assist-to-turnover ratio, and they failed to crack 90 points for the fourth time in five games on Sunday in a loss to the Cavaliers. Miami is now within one game of Indy the East's best record, and the Pacers face a tough matchup with the scorching Spurs on Monday.

Roy Hibbert continued his disastrous run on offense during an embarrassing 90-76 loss to the Cavs on Sunday, making 2-of-9 from the field for six points with five boards and two blocks in 24 minutes. Maybe he's tired or maybe it's an inexplicable reason, but Hibbert looks horrible on the offensive end. He has just two dunks since the break and is making just 29.5 percent of his jumpers in that span. If not for some success on his hook shot, Hibbert's numbers would look even worse. He looks like a player who could use some rest as the Pacers head into the playoffs and is no longer a must-own player.

Roy Hibbert blocked five shots in Friday's loss to the Wizards, but he scored only eight points with two rebounds, one assist, zero steals and three turnovers. Hibbert made 3-of-8 FGs and 2-of-5 FTs, and tonight's line is the latest in a series of disappointing outings for fantasy owners. The Pacers play again on Sunday before kicking off a four-game week on Monday, but over the past month Hibbert's 1.7 blocks and startlingly good 88.9 percent FT shooting have been the only things keeping his value afloat in 12-team leagues.

Roy Hibbert had no concussion symptoms or lingering effects after getting hit in the head during Wednesday's game vs. Miami. This confirms that Hibbert will be ready to go vs. the Wizards on Friday, and owners in need of shot-blocking can comfortably keep him plugged into their lineups. For everyone else, Hibbert presents a conundrum -- the 7'2" center is averaging just 10.6 points on 47 percent shooting over the past month, with 5.1 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.2 steals. He'd belong on the waiver wire if it weren't for his value-saving 1.8 swats per game.
