Coach Byron Scott said after morning shootaround that Hibbert (ankle) is still being viewed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

Though Hibbert was on the court for shootaround, Scott was apparently unwilling to give the center clearance to play, so the Lakers will likely wait until closer to pregame warmups to reach a conclusion on the center's status. Even if he's not 100 percent healthy, Hibbert should do everything he can to make sure he's able to play in a matchup against his former team. If the Lakers do opt to play it safe and hold him out, however, the trio of Brandon Bass, Robert Sacre, and Tarik Black would be tasked with filling Hibbert's minutes.
