NBA Career and Peak Performance

Move to the Los Angeles Lakers
In 2015, Hibbert signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in a high-profile trade. He struggled with fit and injuries, and his playing time decreased. After the 2016-17 season, he was bought out of his contract, which marked the end of his time as a regular NBA starter.
