Hornets' Roy Hibbert: Will start Saturday

Hibbert will draw his third start of the season in Saturday's matchup against the Pelicans, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Hibbert started the first two games of the season before missing the next five with a knee injury. He has returned to a reserve role the previous four games while playing 14 minutes per contest. While he is getting the stat due to Cody Zeller's absence, Hibbert is not expected to exceed 16 minutes of playing time. Frank Kaminsky should presumably see an increased workload off the bench.
