Frank Vogel: 'Roy Hibbert role will be diminished'

Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel admits that center Roy Hibbert could face a "diminished" role if he returns to the team next season.

Frank Vogel has admitted that Roy Hibbert will be facing a "diminished" role with the Indiana Pacers if he returns to the team next season.

The center can opt into another year with the Pacers, who just missed a place in the playoffs this season, but the team is expected to make changes during the off-season.

The coach told the Indianapolis Star: "We'll have to see how it all plays out and what the roster ultimately looks like but there's a possibility that Roy's role will be diminished, if we're trying to play faster and trying to play smaller.

"But a lot of stuff is going to happen this summer, we'll see how the roster shapes out coming into next season."

Hibbert has played for the Pacers since entering the league in 2008.
