INDIANAPOLIS(AP) -- The Indiana Pacers have picked up the options
on starters Roy Hibbert and Brandon Rush.
The Pacers made the announcement Sunday in a news release.
Both players were chosen in the first round of the 2008 draft
and acquired through trades.
Hibbert, a 7-foot-2 center from Georgetown, averaged 7.1 points
and 3.5 rebounds last season. He was part of the trade that sent
Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto.
Rush, a guard from Kansas, averaged 8.1 points and 3.1 rebounds
last season. He stepped in when Mike Dunleavy was injured and
performed well enough to earn the starting job this season. He
scored 29 points on back-to-back days in March.
