Pacers pick up options on Hibbert, Rush
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indiana Pacers have picked up the options on starters Roy Hibbert and Brandon Rush.
The Pacers made the announcement Sunday in a news release.
Both players were chosen in the first round of the 2008 draft and acquired through trades.
Hibbert, a 7-foot-2 center from Georgetown, averaged 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds last season. He was part of the trade that sent Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto.
Rush, a guard from Kansas, averaged 8.1 points and 3.1 rebounds last season. He stepped in when Mike Dunleavy was injured and performed well enough to earn the starting job this season. He scored 29 points on back-to-back days in March.
