Pacers' Hibbert seeking help for his struggles

Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert's on-court problems have gotten to the point where he plans to try to get help.

Hibbert, who has struggled for more than a month, said he plans to meet with a sports psychologist when the team returns to Indianapolis after its two-game trip, which ends Tuesday at Philadelphia.

"Going to talk to somebody is not perceived as a bad thing anymore," Hibbert said. "Other players have done it, and the way things have gone, it has taken a toll on me."

Hibbert, whose name was once on the tip of everybody's tongue during discussions about the league's Most Improved Player award, is in a slump that has lasted for almost six weeks.
