Hibbert to Pay Stephenson’s Fine

Earlier today, the NBA announced that Pacers center Roy Hibbert is being suspended for one game due to an altercation with David Lee of the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, February 26, 2013. It was also announced that Pacers guard Lance Stephenson was fined $35,000 for his role in the altercation.
