The Pacers are scheduled to visit the Sacramento Kings in late November and it would have been at that time that Lee Eddins, 12, would have been able to see his idol Roy Hibbert play.  Eddins has stage four leukemia and was recently told that he may only have 2 weeks left to live.  Upon hearing the news, Hibbert will make a trip to Sacramento by the end of this week to visit Eddins and his family.

"Once I heard he had a dying wish, I knew I had to do something more than send him presents and Skype with him on the computer," Hibbert said, "I'm usually uncomfortable going to hospitals when the Pacers do events because it's pretty tough to see kids in that situation. Once I heard about (Lee), I realized I had to get over it and do it for him."
