October 29th, 2013 by Tim Keeney Leave a reply »
Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert was off to a dominant 2013-14 start against the Orlando Magic—eight points, 16 rebounds, seven blocks—on Tuesday, but his night quickly turned sour as he was forced to leave the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent knee injury. 

Pro Basketball Talk's Brett Pollakoff and HOOPSWORLD's Alex Kennedy provided the details:

Man that looked bad for Hibbert. Slipped, holding his knee and down. Helped up and limping to bench.

— Brett Pollakoff (@BrettEP) October 30, 2013 Roy Hibbert went back to the Pacers locker room after limping off the court. Let's hope he's alright.

— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) October 30, 2013 But it's OK to rest easy, Pacers fans. The news was nowhere as bad as originally feared according to the team, via Pacers.com's Scott Agness:

Pacers say Roy Hibbert is fine. He could return, and he’ll play tomorrow in New Orleans.
