Pacers Injury Update: Roy Hibbert joins the injury list - Indy Cornrows

With 56 seconds left to play in the first quarter of Saturday night's contest against the Washington Wizards, the Pacers suffered yet another casualty. Attempting to set a screen, Roy Hibbert inadvertently banged knees with Solomon Hill. Instantaneously, the final starter standing was seen wincing as he gingerly walked to the bench and eventually was led to the locker-room for further evaluation. Initially listed as "questionable to return," the team later ruled out the 7-foot center for the game prior to the third quarter.

Roy is listed as day-to-day and his status for Monday's game against the Jazz is up in the air.
