Roy Hibbert Could Secure the Starting Center Spot With Cody Zeller Injured

On media day, head coach, Steve Clifford, made it clear that he wasn’t sure who would start at center for the Charlotte Hornets. After the addition of Roy Hibbert this offseason, speculation has surrounded the five spot for the team this summer. Now with Cody Zeller dealing with an injury during training camp, could Hibbert make the starting position his own going forward?

Zeller is still recovering from a bone bruise on his knee that he suffered in the playoff series against the Miami Heat last season. He was making his way back from the ailment but Cody reaggravated the bruise during training with the USA Select Team this summer.
