Hibbert Hopes To Stay With Pacers, Expects To Sign Contract This Summer

Jan 19, 2012 10:22 AM

With the deadline for teams to negotiate contract extensions approaching in less than a week, Roy Hibbert said he thinks he won't get a new deal by next Wednesday.

"My personal gut feeling is that we'll do something in the summer, because the max guys are the ones that get extensions right away," Hibbert said. "I'm just going to follow my agent's lead."

He prefers to remain with the Pacers.

"I have every intention of staying," Hibbert said. "Indiana is my home."
