They're saying it's minor. He's heading home to see our MD

Knees are scary injuries for a big guy.

According to the same article, he did return and continue to play in the game saying that the knee will be looked at as a precaution only and it could very well have been just a bad fall.

I'd say he probably just has a bone bruise that may require drainage.

I had a bone bruise on the bottom of my femur where it connects to the knee capsule. I was in a brace for 3 months and took another 2 months before I could run at full speed. Now, I'm not/wasn't an elite athlete and didn't have NBA health care, but worst case, he might be done for the rest of the Summer.

Well, not the best news we could have heard about Hibby this summer. I don't think its too serious. If anyone hears anything keep us all updated.

Pacers just announced it is a minor strain. No surgery. Workouts resuming immediately.
