    The Indiana Pacers appear to be fed up with their disappearing big man.

    Following a zero-point, zero-rebound performance in a 102-96 Game 1 loss to the Washington Wizards, All-Star center Roy Hibbert was pulled aside by teammates David West and Rasual Butler, according to a report on the team's website.

    Though the site described West as "fuming" and "as heated as he's ever been," all parties declined to comment on the conversation that took place.

    West told reporters the team plans to "keep encouraging" Hibbert and that Hibbert has to "be a part of the fight."

    Forward Paul George told reporters he wants Hibbert to get more involved.

    "We're at the point where we really need Roy and we need him now," George said following Monday's loss.
