Vogel: No Message Sent to Roy Hibbert

(Pacers coach Frank) Vogel said he wasn’t trying to send a message to center Roy Hibbert for the second time in two weeks when he sat him during the fourth quarter against the Bobcats on Saturday.

It was more about how well Hibbert’s backup, Ian Mahinmi, has been playing lately.

“I considered sitting (Hibbert) for that game anyway because he had been dealing with back spasms and were going into a back-to-back (games),” Vogel said.
