Hibbert provided 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds, and six blocks in 32 minutes in the loss to the Hornets on Saturday.
Hibbert had some extracurriculars with former teammate Lance Stephenson, who had the last laugh on the scoreboard. The Pacer center had been limited to 21 minutes or fewer in his three previous games. He doesn't rebound enough to be a consistent double-double threat, but he will get his fair share of the feats.

Hibbert (ankle) returned to action during Friday's victory over the Boston Celtics, finishing with 19 points (7-19 FG, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and five blocks in 35 minutes.
Hibbert was able to play 35 minutes, which blew his season average of 25.8 minutes per game out of the water. It's safe to say he's over his ankle injury he suffered in Wednesday's game against the Warriors. As long as he didn't aggravate the injury, he should be ready for another full game's worth of minutes again on Saturday, although if Ian Mahinmi (foot) returns, he could have a much lighter minutes load than he did on Friday. The double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds was his ninth of the season, while the five blocks matched a season-high. He's now averaging 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.9 blocks per game on the year.

Hibbert (ankle) will play against the Celtics on Friday.
Hibbert was considered questionable heading into Friday, although his ankle apparently feels good enough to give it a go Friday. Assuming his sprained ankle doesn't get in the way, he'll likely play right around the 25.5 minutes that he's currently averaging this season.

Hibbert (ankle) is officially questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Hibbert suffered the sprained ankle during Wednesday's game against the Warriors, and his status for Friday's game remains unclear at this point. With fellow center Ian Mahinmi also (foot) unlikely for the game following a month absence, the Pacers would likely turn to Lavoy Allen at center should Hibbert be unavailable.

Hibbert departed Wednesday's game with a sprained left ankle and is questionable to return.
Hibbert will have a chance to return to Wednesday's game despite spraining his ankle, but given that he missed time with a left ankle injury earlier this season, the Pacers figure to proceed with caution. Expect the team to provide an update on Hibbert's status following Wednesday's game if he is unable to return to the contest.
